Hi Nicola I need to contact you sometime and have made a friend request. I feel it would be good to add a clustr map so that you can see how many hits from what countries are visiting this site. Data always intrigues me. See classroom2.0 However, I cannot work out how to add the code into a text box once in admin. How good are you with the admin side on the ning? Delete Comment

Hi Nicola
Thanks for joining the ning. Communication skills are really important for educators. We tend to be people who communicate well face to face and know how tailor the message for kids but in the new world of education, there are so many more dimensions to how we communicate. Share your knowledge and skills here.
