David Dodgson suggested making a WORD CLOUD of one's blog. Having seen David's cloud and Cecilia's Cloud and Sandy Millin's CLOUD I decided to follow suit! Here it is:I'm somewhat puzzled. Some things are obvious. The words "goals" and "project" are very prominent because of all the posts related to the 30 goals project I'm participating in! It makes sense to me that the words "fascinating" "excited" "intriguing" appear because I feel all these things about the new blogosphere experience! Family is very important to me though I suspect the word is fairly large because some of my Saturday's Books have been devoted to books all the family can enjoy. But why is the word "students' so much smaller than on other people's blogs? I thought I had been writing quite a bit about my students! Puzzling...
Something to think about… But also take into account that wordle only uses your last 10 posts or so Naomi, so it might have influenced students being smaller – You probably have focused more on other matters.
I was impressed by the size of your cloud and the word variety in it. 🙂 Really liked it!
Hi Naomi,
I agree with Cecilia. Could also be that although you’re writing about students you’re not using the word specifically, or you’re using synonyms (in which case the rest of us should learn from you and get a thesaurus out!)
Fascinating 🙂
Sandy
Cecilia and Sandy,
Yeah, I guess I’ve been using “kids” “pupils” “boys /girls” or “they / them”…
Now I have to try using word clouds in class!
Having just read your interesting post on the last of the 30 goals I then read your wordle. What stood out for me was the proximity of the words “whole new project”. This made me smile as I thought about what exciting new direction / new project you would now take on! ;-p
Fascinating wordle 😀
You got me there – I’m always working on several projects (including a surprise for my husband’s birthday!)
