"//My concern is if middle-school students will find graphs appealing and want to create many graphs of their own desperately ... will they be really motivated and engaged to create all kinds of graphs using this flash tool? I think we need a topic and activities that can support students’ varied interests ...// //FYI: In the attachment is the design guideline for the MIT course in fall. Personally I found it very helpful.//"

"//From a brief look at the site it looks nice, but I would like to explore a little more to clarify some of the aspects.// //Also I like the constructivist approach to learning as well. I am open to anything so long it has direct math application in it as this website does.//"

//"I like this website! The thing we should think of might be how to combine science with it, and how to add more functions (like t-test and data collection). Another concern is whether the prototype can be produced with Flash. In other words, whether the production requires much programming. I'll also look up more information and explore more possibilities. Look forward to hearing what you come up with.////"//

"//I was looking around on the web for some inspiration on what has already been done on 'math/science/stats learning and visualizing tools' for kids, and found this website!// //I think we could make something even cooler, and at least better-looking and more playful..// //What kinds of topics or ideas or plans or subject matter were you guys thinking of?// //I'm still open to almost anything, so long as it's new, sort of constructivist, and promises to be a fun/playful learning tool for kids...//"
