But what I particularly like are the comments that have been made by you and Graeme. Sometimes it's the 'backchat' that is more interesting :) Thanks for reminding me about this lovely little application.

Key words that emerge school wide would then tell if things like school vision statements are actually making their way into the everyday written language of the school. I still might put some of my kids reflective work through it and have them discuss what it all means. I do like it - a lot and its aesthetic beauty is certainly appealing.

It would be even more interesting to take a working document like, oh I don't know, say a teaching program, and make a tag cloud of that. Then we could look at the zeitgeist of both documents to see how much the practical reality aligns with the intended purpose. I'm just sayin' is all... At the moment, I'm not using it for anything quite so subversive... just my desktop wallpaper. Looks very cool.

The app is a fun one for making "here's me" graphics with the variety of options. I see some future potential for texts - Mew York Times - Shakespeare - Bible. Maybe they'll develop those channels in the future. Dennis Hi Chris,
Thanks for posting this. The app is a fun one for making “here’s me” graphics with the variety of options. I see some future potential for texts – Mew York Times – Shakespeare – Bible. Maybe they’ll develop those channels in the future.
