Wordle – my new best friend!

What a clever little tool this is. I can use it to create nice, crisp images made up from a bunch of words describing something specific. The tool does the random display and jumbling of these words to create a great little image that I can then use to illustrate pages in my wiki or blog.

Here’s an example produced recently to illustrate some Elluminate training I’m scheduling:

In response to the first challenge in the ‘Web 2.0 Wednesdays’ here’s my contribution to the one minute instruction on starting out with a new team on an elearning journey:

Add these items to your To-Do List:
