    You just earned a Net Nugget at DrDougGreen.Com. If you check my archives you can find the twitter names of lots of other cool people to follow on the education front. You can also follow the #edchat conferences on Tuesday at noon and 7 pm. It a great way to attend a free conference with great educators from around the world without leaving home. Keep up the good work.
