Wordle Thing1

I love Wordle.  It is so quick and easy to get a great design.  I also like to use it to check the emphasis of a passage of complex text.

Here is my Autumn Wordle created in a couple of minutes and extracted from the site using the snipping tool.

The snipping tool is a new find for me and since hearing about it I can't stop using it.  It has been great for snipping screen shots to put into Powerpoint presentations without the fiddly need for cropping.

Here is an example of a Wordle to check the meaning of a piece of writing - in this case a speech by Jeremy Hunt at the 2013 Conservative Conference:

A walk in the woods

Had a wonderful walk around the Knightwood Oak, Eagle Oak and Bolderwood today - a highlight was to see some pigs foraging for acorns.

 

Time to finally get started

Well we are on Thing 12 of 19things and in usual style I am playing catch-up big time.  I decided that I would create my blog first to spur me into getting on with the other "Things".

I decided to create a Blogger blog as I am fairly used to Wordpress as we use it for the Library blog and I use it to record my CPD activities (with varying degrees of success).

My aim with this blog is two-fold:

1.  I intend to record my reflections about he 19Things programme and try really hard to make some time to do each of the "Things" (unlike previous attempts to do a programme like this)

2.  To create a visual record of this beautiful season of autumn from the things I pass day to day - it also means I will go out and get some fresh air at lunchtime!

I hope you enjoy reading my blog.
