I'm always looking for new examples of how to use games and online resources to teach and to learn. Hey Scott,

It focused on having students create mathematical models based on real world problems. In this simulation, students watch paper airplanes being thrown. Students then determine how to judge planes for accuracy and hang time. Students are able to interact with the data and change various factors including force, height, angle, and plane type. The 3D environment allowed students to really visualize flight paths and understand what a table of data 'looks like' in real life. It was pretty cool. We plan to build 5 more (granting IES funding of course). :) Jayson Richardson Scott, I just sent her some information about the 3D simulation I helped build.
