Margaret this is the first time I have been to the forum and am not sure how it all works. I just went to the NECC conf. in San Diego and signed up for Promethean planet . You mentioned that you had a flipchart to go with mapping our world. How do I access it?????

Ok Margaret I was too hasty. I found the attached file when I go to the end of the thread. Sorry.
