This word cloud was created with the tweets
from last year's #BrlChat about Unified English
Braille. A word cloud is a circular collection of
words of various sizes and colors where the size
of the word indicates the frequency with which it
was used. The words from largest to smallest include: BrlChat, UEB, Braille, change, contractions, brl, time, countries, think, books, etc.
How
To participate in the conversations, all you
have to do is sign up for Twitter and be online at 9
p.m. Eastern on the third Wednesday of each
month. Enter the hashtag "#BrlChat" into the
search box and you will see what others are saying. If you have something to add to the dialogue,
include the hashtag #BrlChat in your tweet.
For those who are unfamiliar with Twitter, here
is some vocabulary that will be helpful to
know.
Tweet: a message of 140 characters or
fewer posted on Twitter. This is analogous
to a status update on Facebook.
@Username: The way to refer to a person
on Twitter in a tweet. This author's username is @nlshaheen.
Followers: People who have agreed to receive your Tweets. If you choose to receive
another Twitter user's tweets, you are following him/her. This is similar to the "friend"
