State of the Union Wordle
Yesterday in the office, a few of us were guessing what the key topics of Obama’s State of the Union address might be. So, this morning, we plugged the transcript into our favorite word-jumbler tool, Wordle, to see which topics were featured most prominently. Here’s what Wordle showed us! (You can also visit our published version here.)
For those of you who missed last night’s State of the Union address, here’s an interesting “enhanced” version from whitehouse.gov. It features a split screen that displays President Obama on the left side and additional information graphics on the right side.
Tell us, what’s important for students to know about Obama’s State of the Union address?

Nice! Thanks for posting this. I also liked the presentation of material in layers from this NYTImes piece: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2012/01/24/us/politics/state-of-the-union-2012-video-transcript.html?hp
Cheers.
Okay, this is my favorite SOTU video. As it plays, there are fact check blurbs that display additional information about the topic. Very nice. Thanks!
