Cluster Maps

I thought it would be cool to put a ClustrMap on my page, but my theme makes all of my pages go over into the sidebar when I put the map widget in the sidebar. It also is sort of ugly in the footer–I wonder what code is messing up. I plead ignorance.But, it will be cool for the kids to see–I’ll suggest that they add a Map Widget to their blogs so they can see who is clicking around and reading. Maybe it will inspire them to comment on more blogs and have a little dot on St. Louis appear somewhere across the world.

Clustr Maps are cool for two reasons – counts and countries. I put clustr map on my blog in February and recently had my 1,000th visit – which now includes 6 continents!

Britt-
When you get one from Antarctica, let me know
I’ve been using Google Analytics to track my website and blog and have been amazed at how many people find a site that was constructed for my classes, but I like this accessible visual aspect for my students.
It makes the interconnectedness of the world more apparent–and perhaps will be incentive for their writing when they can see that others are “listening” to their ideas.
