If you remember, Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. 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, but you must cite Wordle.
It looks as if the blog still focuses on assessment, but it has evolved into a discussion of educational concepts, learning, and knowledge. I would have to say that Wordle is probably correct as my original posts focused on assessments, statistics, test modifications, etc. As assessments are built to assess learning and knowledge, my posts have been more focused in these areas as of late. This is really kind of an interesting way to take a "snapshot" of your site and evaluate your content over time. Have any of you tried Wordle and in what ways?
