    So cool – your blog site is fabulous – I am having so much fun exploring it!

    Hi Miss W.

    I like your reading review page – I think I will use this idea when I get a blog going for my students. As you have seen from my blog I am just getting started and it is geared more tow ards adults than my students. I plan on setting one up for them soon, I just need to get a little more acquainted with what I am doing.

    I added google analytics to my site – is that the same as your cluster map? I would really like to have that on my site but haven’t figured that one out yet!

    Thanks for your support and sharing this wonderful site. I am learning a lot just through your pages.

      G’day Kevin,
      I teach ICT (computers), literacy, numeracy and LOTE (languages other than English) to students in grade 6/7. We have about 160 students in 6 classes. MDT is materials, design and technology or often called woodwork and metalwork.
