[my rss + wordle = tag cloud 2.0]
You can make your own text cloud at Wordle by uploading a link to any site with an rss feed, linking to a delicious feed or pasting in text manually. This application seems to have quite a bit of potential in the classroom...perhaps as a way to help students summarise important aspects from their reading or as a way of offering a visual interpretation of data.

Scary that PARENTS is a prominent word in the cloud.
Very interesting.
'Twas fun putting my blogs into it and discovering I don't use the word "various" that much (despite what my ex might say)...
hi anon - the word parents crops up because I often write about literacy skills in relation to how kids are parented...! numerous studies have shown that people become better readers quicker if they are read to by their parents (there's that word again!).
hey shen, where's the link to your wordle cloud?
