The above cloud draws on the comments you all have made to the Module 1 initial post. I’ll go over how I made this in class, but in general I’ve found that visualizing students’ comments often brings out interesting observations. Should you be interested in taking a look at the tool, go to tagxedo.com. {HINT: scroll over words in the cloud…Be warned that the tool runs on Silverlight, which is a Microsoft plug-in that you need to have installed for it to fully work. I’ll try to put up a less dynamic version of this and link to it for those who don’t want to use MS products…}
UPDATE: find a JPG file here.
I’ve posted all the “module” groups in the course Evernote-book (linked in sidebar). The “diamond” groups are up for Module 1, and I’ll detail that assignment again in class this week.
Finally, here is a resource for tracking arts and culture activities in and around Eugene. The link should take you to the October newsletter from the Lane Arts Council, and I recommend subscribing if you’d like to get a sense of what they do and what goes on in the area.
