Hi!

[Jordan Blocher]

Hey all,

I apologize for missing the meeting. I should have called.

Here's what I was working on this weekend, still a way to go.. The original purpose of these tutorials is to complement the new lesson plan at Coral Academy, but I'm thinking I can make a follow-along tutorial for presentations that we do at the schools.

spilka.math.unr.edu/~jblocher/intro/Main.swf

spilka.math.unr.edu/~jblocher/file-manager/Main.swf

For example, we do a tornado in a bottle presentation at a middle school. The Karel toon can talk about it, and the worksheets have text boxes for instructions, and then the tornado can be simulated using matplotlib or WebGL. Then kids can look at the presentation whenever they want? Maybe have a webpage with pictures from the school presentation and a movie of the tornado in real life, along with the programming tutorial?

If you clone the worksheet, you can change the coefficients to see what the tornado would look like under different conditions.

Just a thought. I want to catch up on the meeting as soon as possible.
