My Blog in the Clouds
<![CDATA[A quick and fun mini blog challenge by David Dogson in his blog post here – I fed my blog URL to Wordle and Tagxedo and look which words they have gone for!
Here is my blog in the clouds!
I still can’t embed this Tagxedo properly to show the words animated! (See comment in previous post) In that post, you can see a Tagxedo os Shelly Terrell’s blog and one for Nik Peachey’s blog which I made for their birthday Wallwishers. Here is the URL of the Tagxed0 http://www.tagxedo.com/artful/5ba486ca9e4349fc but shows minus photo 🙁
More educational technology, certainly, than what I would have written, say two years ago. A nice surprise. But good to know that content still rules.

Oh that is cool! I have to try that too!
Hi Deborah, I look forward to the words in your cloud!

Hi Marisa,
Thanks for joining in! The prominence of ELTchat and Twitter comes as no surprise due to your own prominence in both. 🙂
Interesting too that while most of the contributions so far have ‘students’ showing up large, your role as a teacher trainer leads to ‘teacher’ and ‘Teaching’ showing up more.
Hi Dave – tried this on my school blog too – similar results… Nice challenge reminding us of how useful word clouds are and how visually appealing too

Loved Tagxedo Marisa! And I echo Dave’s comment – interesting how you being a teacher trainer gave it a different twist from most clouds we can see in the challenge. 🙂
Hi Cecilia – Noticed only after Dave made his comment – one’s preoccupations .. I guess. Interesting how wordle.net picked somewhat different vocabulary from tagxedo..
Wow! that’s like wordle on artistic steroids!
I “like” 🙂
Thank you! He he!!! None of my doing – didn’t edit the word clouds at all 😀
The one with a face… done with tagxedo… that’s not yer average wordle at all. I’m going digging to see if I can make something as “cool”! Cheers
(no #eltchat again for me this week… conference… same last week and next week.) 🙁
