One of my students, Sean, found this awesome tutorial about how to use
only Actionscript to create a working anologue clock. I love the style
this author uses to communicate with his audience. My students will be
doing this activity and several of the other ones listed on the site!

Sharon Affeld told me about this article that discusses how students and
teachers are using global-positioning-system (GPS) technology to
accurately identify spots on the planet?not just to locate a city or a
town but to locate a bend in a stream, or the precise location of an
animal or a plant or a structure. Just like the real scientists and
historians they are becoming, they know they need to be accurate.

My pal, Sandra Gluth, says that this site from the UK is intended for elementary but a couple of the projects would fit better in junior or even senior high. The focus is to inspire/develop writers primarily for poetry.
