What's in a bunch of words?

Surfing around, I noticed some posts in the political realm using word clouds on candidate speeches.  Made me wonder how my web sites might come out.  First, I went to www.shearonforschools.com -- the website I set up when I was running for the school board in Nashville and then maintained while I was on the board and for a couple of years afterwards.  I pulled all the text I had written (over 15,000 words), ran it through http://wordle.net, and got this:

I pulled all my book notes off that site (over 64,000 words) and got:

That seems about right to me.  I thought, talked, and wrote more about students as a board member.  I read and studied about how teachers and schools can change so they work better. 

Finally, looking at this blog since the Fall of 2005 when I started the MAPP program, I get:

Interesting in that my sense is that my focus has turned more to lawyers, lawyering, and law schools over the last two years.  I suspect, however, most of that work has produced products such as materials and powerpoints for CLE presentations, memos, etc. -- none of which would show up here.  On the other hand, I do still do a good bit of work in the K-12 education world, including working with Superintendents' Study Councils through the Penn Graduate School of Education, the work with teachers from the UK in the summer of '07 and with Geelong Grammar School in Australia in January of this year.  And the continuing work with my colleagues John Yeager and Sherri Fisher at Culver Academies.
