Earlier today, I saw a post What My Blog’s Word Cloud Say About Me And My Writing written by Cecelia Lemos. In this post, she describes attending a workshop given by David Dodgson where he challenged participants to create a wordle based on their blog URLs. Once completing the wordle, to follow-up with an analysis of the wordle. I thought this was a clever idea, and here is my participation.
Content
As I look at my Wordle, the most prominent words are learning, knowledge, and Wlodkowski. This makes sense because the focus of this blog is on learning, learners, strategies for helping both, and ways to become smarter. I am interested in helping others learn, and I have been sharing my observations about this topic and strategies for improving teaching and using technology to learn from it. I also prominently use Wlodkowski. This also makes sense because I was writing about a book written by Wlodkowski that I am currently using as a student in class. This book focuses on learning.
Language
The language I use reflects how I speak and write. The language is mature but not overly academic. There are several technical terms used specifically when referring to software programs. Interestingly, I use the word “also” often.
Surprises
To be honest, I really do not find any surprises in this Wordle. It reflects what my focus has been up until now. I am pleasantly surprised by the results and the benefit of examining my writing through this exercise. Great idea!
