Hi Carla and LwCers,
The Webslides are really visually appealing and would be great for use with a class or for professional development.

For use with a class, you could bookmark some sites you wanted students to take a look at and embed the Webslides widget on your class blog or site. The slideshow may be more attractive than a simple list of links, and may appeal especially to visual learners.

For professional development, using the Webslides feature would be a nice way to showcase a project or to create a kind of portfolio. During the Blogging4Educators session that we co-moderated earlier this year, we created a lot of content on various sites. I bookmarked these sites, saved them to the list Blogging4Educators, and then looked at the webslides. It looks really professional, and is easy to share with others!

Looking forward to hearing more great ideas about Webslides!!

Just put in a URL and this will generate a cloud based on word frequency

I found this tool via Bamboo Project Blog this morning. It is really fun to put in the URL of your own blog and see what words you use most often.
