I have done some reading and listening promoting, supporting and explaining the realm of social networking tools available today. I was interested in tag clouds and thought that they would be great visual tools to use in the classroom. So this is my trial at a tag cloud which visually represents the concept of social networking based on an article by By Juan Carlos Perez, IDG News Service, Socialtext Adds Tools to Manage Its Twitter-like Stream

This is the link to the tag cloud

I think this tool would work really well to initiate thinking with children, to give them direction when they are tackling an article or reading passage, visually pulls out the main words, ideas.
Wanted to add a tag cloud for the referred to resource ALA Techsource on Twitter, love that Library was so predominate!!
