Hi Victoria, Sad to say that until I saw your post, I had never even heard of a "wordle," but being addicted to words, I love the idea. Thanks for sharing both your own wordle and aiming us at the site. Terry

I like that way of thinking about the dance in an alternative school (or any school or classroom, really). Where might I find this article or chapter Maja?

Bill Maniotis replied to Steve Shann's discussion 'The Ethics of Authenticity: Chapter 10 Against Fragmentation'
