3D CAD with Motion Simulation: What is 'freeCAD'? 'freeCAD'
is a basic 3D CAD with advanced Motion Simulation capabilities.
It is suitable for anyone interested in learning for free before
upgrading to commercial packages. Educators, students, and new
engineers will find it ideal for the teaching and learning of
geometry, kinematics, dynamics, vibrations, mechanisms, cams,
machine design, and physics. The program runs on Windows,
Macintosh PPC, Linux PC and other Unix's. It is a FREEWARE which
is sponsor supported. Releases will be made quarterly. Aik-Siong

- Time4teachers: Time4teachers
has been developed as a time-saving resource for teachers. The
product is a compact disc (CD-ROM) containing over 400 Language
Arts blackline masters. (In real terms it represents the
equivelent of a 3" binder of blackline materials.) Included
is a comment box on each blackline master, which contains
teacher notes for the suggested use of the individual blackline
master. In addition the CD contains all-purpose items such as
evaluation templates and classroom management tools like
nametags, desk strips, and borders. These materials are easily
adapted to all grade levels. However, teachers of grades 2-7
will probably find the most use for the materials. Karscot

Through Time: VTT is a new and unique one-year integrated
high school science curriculum currently under development by the
SETI institute and partners. Built on the theme of evolutionary
change and delivered on CD-ROM, it provides technology-enhanced
inquiry approaches to the study of Cosmic Evolution, Planetary
Evolution, The Origin of Life, Evolution of Life, Hominid Evolution,
and The Evolution of Technology. Student and teacher materials are
published as six modules on CD-ROMs with printed readers. VTT is
designed as a one-year 9th or 10th grade integrated curriculum, but
individual modules may also be used in discipline-based science
courses such as earth and space science, life science or biology,
and technology classes. SETI Institute
