Yes, does this teacher blog? Has someone told her story on a school or private website? If so, we need to share this idea and experience. If not, would she have time for a short email interview? Let me know. We want to get her story out. I think this is one of the best uses for the classroom.

3 permutations of the same word set.

I love data visualizations, and it's Friday. So here's the Wordle for appslab.com as of August 28-ish.

We just found out what a wordle is (thanks Jake!) and thought we'd share what Talented Apps look like with our loyal readers! written by an Oracle group who focus on future ideas and talent

It's like the central themes of the text, surrounded by their context, almost leap off the page and hit the viewer like a perspective from another dimension. this is not an education post, yet I like the wordles of Martin Luther King, Jr (I Have a Dream) speech and others

Wordle for the group icon.

here is a wordle made to use as an icon. I tried to focus on three words from description of the diigo group, so they would be noticeable in the Wordle group icon. We'll see

Thanks to everyone who has shared their excellent WORDLE bookmarks with the group. I want to share a bit of information about our bookmarks:

It is possible to duplicate bookmarks in any group bookmark set. I will try to manage this, but please be aware that entering duplicate bookmarks is possible.

One suggestion is to check the other group bookmarks to make sure the new ones to be added are not duplicates.

If you have another idea, please share with the group!

Karin, I agree. Thanks for adding good ideas about the bookmark duplicates. I have invited MaggieT to this group, so I am sure she will see these messages.

Diigo is always growing and evolving, so I believe they will come to our aid with this tiny issue. I found some of my bookmarks were duplicates, then I saw a few more. Thanks Karin for your insightful information about FireFox3.

Different browsers react differently when checking for duplicate bookmarks, it seems. I know on Flock2, I have a tiny book that turns pinkish red when I have bookmarked a site. Then I am alerted not to repeat myself. Maybe we can get something like that for our group bookmarks.

My diigo toolbar (in FF3) lets me know when I try to bookmark a site that is already in MY bookmarks, but apparently it doesn't let me know if a bookmark is already shared to a group. Making that possible would be a huge improvement! Thank you diigo for your wonderful site & support for teachers!!

Yes, it would be interesting, especially as their own words might reveal blank spots in social skills. Learning could be remediated in a variety of ways.

Yes, this is an excellent use of wordle and keyboarding. I wonder if the students ever type their favorite word more times than the others, so it shows up in a larger font? That would be cool.

wordle has a lot of potential to generate discussions and debates, as well as encourage creative writing.
