Feedback – Thanks for the 13 Comment Forms I have received in the last week. I have been hard at work improving NOSI over the last month, implementing a set of new features that have been on my “To Do List” for too long. Now that I am caught up on my list, I am analysing the two hundred emails and Comment Forms I’ve received over the last 3 years, looking for new ideas to implement. I’ll summarize what I learned and what I intend to do in the near future. In the meantime, please keep the Comments coming. I am interested in learning how you use NOSI to educate yourself and others. I am especially interested in hearing from military personnel or teachers at all levels.
