Wordle for content analysis?

Nice application of Wordle to liven up a potentially dry subject! The interface is interesting, and the application of Wordle would show interesting different different between the different US President addresses. An intro to content analysis perhaps... Could even see an application in my PhD as instant concordance... just to break up the heaps of text :-)

Idea for teaching the Social Media module

Since I keep wondering about social media policy for teaching, it would seem a good idea to ask students to design a social media policy for the organisation they work for, or alternatively for their profession (eg  CIPR policy). This could be done as groupwork, eg via a wiki. Students could be grouped by course (ie all MATC together, etc), and if necessary, have two or more groups per course. I could refer students to a couple of existing policies to get them going. After that, the task could involve a Web quest and posting results to a Diigo list (one for the module).
