I am currently a Ph.D. student at Walden University--Educational Technology in Higher Education. I recently joined the staff at Fayetteville Technical Community College, a leader in technology innovations in the NC Community College System. This blog was originally designed to share my thoughts and ideas about my Ph.D. research. However, I have expanded it to included faculty development issues, especially related to emerging technologies.

Wordle

I just found a new "toy." Wordle generates “word clouds” from text provided by the user. You can paste in your own words, provide the URL of any blog, blog feed, or other web page that has an Atom or RSS feed, or enter a de.icio.us user name to see their tags. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends. Here's my Wordle for this blog.
