Connecting the dots

I know many people have added a clustrmap to their blogs or webpage.  I did shortly after reactivating my epals account to find classrooms around the world to begin correspondence in Spanish.  I had no idea what effect it would have on my very hard to impress 8th graders.  Since it is on my webpage that students use to access class information- we see it often during the day. They NEVER fail to notice a new dot on the map.  Then we investigate geographically where our visitor came from…….. Of course, we are excited to see Zaragosa, Spain has paid us a visit. We are awaiting our visitor(Fluvi) see “Fluvi Mania” for more on that. (What you don’t know is whenever we say Fluvi Mania in class we have all taken to saying it á la the Govenator-no idea why- but it stuck)So if you would like to make some 8th graders very excited, click on the link to my webpage-they will go nuts to see the added traffic/dots. You can also click on a class page and see who they are-they are the stars of my new onetruemedia.com addiction for montages.
