My mum went on a course recently and told me that she was shown this. They encourage the children in year 9 to type their interests, hobbies and strengths into a document and upload it into http://www.wordle.net/. After viewing the cloud the student can clearly see the things they mention the most related to their strengths and interests. This effective exercise has proved to help some students decide their options at school so they choose the right subjects with their interests and strengths in mind. I think this is very clever. I remember seeing one at the Induction day at Middlesex very briefly but after my mum mentioned it i though I would give it a whirl. I literally copied everything I had written on my first three blogs and copied it into the website. It really shows the words that describe me and my interests and actually come to think of it my life's journey. Try one they look really cool.
