I would be interested in knowing what experiences folks have had using WordAloud with ESL students?  Any positives OR negatives that you can share would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Anna,

Do you have lists of URLs for reading material for different age groups
freely available for download from the web?  That would be of great
interest for users of WordAloud.

BTW, we have a new release of WordAloud on www.wordaloud.co.uk.
The previous release will expire at the end of the month.
The new release has a clipboard facility:  you can copy text
from any type of document or from a web page, and have the words
simultaneously spoken and displayed in large letters by WordAloud.

Cheers,

John
