Faith is experimenting with Wordle

Faith is experimenting with Wordle with her student library advisory board. They will be creating "word clouds" using Wordle.

She wanted a way to get their creations from the web page into her blog.

I tried one. Let's see how it looks.

Faith likes it! I am so pleased.

Carolyn -

Jim Moulton here, from Edutopia's Spiral Notebook - thought this was a more appropriate way to respond to your query about Norm!

No Norm in the branches of my family tree that I know of... Thanks for asking!

I've taken a tour through your blog, and can see that you are doing tons to support the teachers you work with!

Drove through Gorham a couple of times in the last week - Perhaps I'll see you in Farmington, Ellsworth, Camden, Houlton, or Eliot on one of your visits to Maine!

I do love Wordle - a new "way" to see words. I also love visuwords.com

Cheers.

Jim

Faith and Jim,
Thanks to both of you for commenting on my blog. It is the interaction between folks that makes a blog powerful, and it's disheartening when no one seems to read it.
I, too, will take a look at "visuwords".
Thanks again.
