I heard about this site on NPR, a search engine based on Computational Data. Ask questions about all kinds of things and get the data on them. I put in my name and it told me its rank (33rd), how many people are given my name in a year (11,342), Average age (18), and other info.
You can calculate all kind any mathematical equation and even figure out your Body Mass Index by putting in your age, height and weight. You can put in any date and get a lot of information about that date and it also tells you how long ago it was and the importance of that date. There are a ton of things you can check out on Wolfram Alapha. I think it could be used as a valuable classroom tool, check it out and see what you and your students think!

Hey Lutz, It's me Kevin.
I was wondering during those trainings you mentioned if I can give you a personal project of mines. Well, actually I haven't even started yet but this actually came to mind. I can besides just giving you the PowerPoint presentations, I could instead do an instructional video on how to do the effects and all of those pretty neat transitions. I'm going to re-edit my whole Blogger thing, but if you would like; I can do either a video and post it up on youtube and give you the file via flashdrive or I can do a PowerPoint presentation on HOW TO DO A POWERPOINT.
Respond when ever you want.
