Using the above article I copied the diagram which we encountered in
the Lecture. Then I read the article, then I "wordled" the article resulting
in the word cloud below.
Fun technology and very easy to apply.
Thank goodness that was not overwhelming because everything else
was, has been and probably will be!
So as some light relief I recommend the youtube video by Xerox =
zany American humour. An Aussie version would be more laconic I believe.
Great video!

ReplyDeleteJust checked your blog and you posted this one the same day as me and you have used the same video as I have! We must think the same!
Cheers :)
Hi helena - agree with your comment about wordle, within a session of rapidly increasing speed, information overload, and escalating mind boggling factor wordle is a calm, peaceful, visual and fun way to display language. I think tools like this are needed to balance the pace of some of the other applications. It fun, its simple, and a very different way to view text and ideas.
