You have an instant recognition of what it is: common terminology associated with the concepts of blended learning.

How did I do it? Easy. Visit Wordle and click on Create. Just begin to enter the words you want to display, repeating words you want to display in a larger type.

From the Wordle website:

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 however you like.

The FAQ section explains it all. It is very easy to use... Give it a try!

PDF Writer: Primo PDF

I regularly use Adobe's Acrobat Professional to create my PDF files. If you do not have this software, however, I have found a useful, free PDF writer: Primo PDF.

You can download it at www.primopdf.com.

Using it is quite simple, similar to Acrobat. Once installed on your computer:

1. To change a document to a PDF file, Click Print. Instead of selecting a printer, choose Primo PDF.
2. Click OK.
3. Choose Print.
4. Click OK.
5. Wait for a few seconds for the PDF document to display.
6. Save it to your desktop or drive.

For most basic Word documents, it has worked well for me.
