It would be really interesting to see what terms popped up on the tag cloud if the category was left open - what is it that students are really concerned about today?<BR/><BR/>I'm not a tagger by nature, but have recently been trying to tag my blog posts, and the resulting traffic to my blog has been huge. Perhaps there ought to be something like virtual tag clouds floating in the sky, just to let us all know that the things we're thinking about and debating in our own minds, are also concerns of others? :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26643528.post-24149978068310812402008-11-10T20:52:00.000-08:002008-11-10T20:52:00.000-08:00The humble stick of chalk, I have always maintaine...The humble stick of chalk, I have always maintained -- sometimes in the face of the aggressive instincts of the PowerPointless -- is a technology.
