Today we roll out the first of the series of tools useful for teachers, bloggers, and other website owners – The Discussion Gadget that you see on the right hand side.

Blogger users can add it to their blog via the search gadget function, and others can paste the following code in their websites. Edublogs.org users can also use the same code in a text widget or inline in the post wherever they want to incorporate a discussion.

<script src=”http://gmodules.com/ig/ifr?url=http://discuss.classgrid.com/chat/gadget.xml&synd=open&w=220&h=300&title=&border=%23ffffff%7C3px%2C0px+solid+%23999999&output=js”></script>

it would look like this:

We hope you like it and find it useful.
