Discover Wordle

http://www.wordle.net/

It's fun, creative, inviting!
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. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create
with Wordle are yours to use.....print, save, or share with pals.

Teaching involves choices. 
Sometimes they are really nothing

unusual or spellbinding.  Yet taking the
chance that something "new" may unlock things for the learner, it's well worth the try.  

You know, try this.....

 ......or how about this?

‘Every child needs a father’ is a phrase heard
often enough, but is there any evidence to support it?  

In this enlightening documentary, child psychologist
Laverne Antrobus goes on a quest to discover why a
dad’s relationship with his offspring is so important. 

She uncovers fascinating new research
which is shedding light onto the science of fatherhood.
