Learning Strategies

I just discovered a cool poster-creating applet called Wordle. In their own words:

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.

I rather like the result I got by giving them the URL of this blog:
