Every so often Information Aesthetics blog turns up a brilliant classroom application – Wordle for example was an instant hit in the UK geography community. Here’s the original post about DoodleBuzz.
DoodleBuzz is a stunning method to explore the news. Lets say for example you were teaching about rainforests. Head for DoodleBuzz, enter the topic and draw a doodle. Be amazed as the latest headlines appear along the sketch. Summaries and related stories appear with more doodling.

If you like DoodleBuzz you might want to try some other relational browser applications like:
Webpages as Graphs
Digital Geography graph
CIA factbook relation browser
Touchgraph
and maybe my favourite of all: Visuwords

Thanks very much for posting these visually fascinating sites. Although I do stop by the Information Aesthetics Blog now and then, I missed these and might never have seen them otherwise. Much obliged!
