It is great to hear that you have introduced <a href="http://del.icio.us/tarannau20" rel="nofollow">del.icio.us</a> to your students, could you put some details about what you are doing on the <a href="http://shropshireict.wikispaces.com/delicious" rel="nofollow">Shropshire ICT wikispace.</a> Tim

I introduced a year 8 class to del.icio.us today and then passed on the dance mat typing link using the for: tag. I passed it to 4 students and they in turn passed it down their rows until they were all posting, tagging and typing! P.S. can't get near your stats (but I will persist..), interesting that it judges two spaces after a full stop to be a mistake. I'm sure that I was taught to put two spaces after a full stop...
