Patty,
  I'm glad you and your students enjoyed the activity.
I felt my students got alot from it.  Most really took
the data and could relate to the distance-time graphs.
They could see that the slope was the speed.
  I too have been starting to use spreadsheets in class.
The students know how to create spreadsheets and graphs.
I will have to check into the book you talked about.  It
sounds like a winner.
  I have found that students quickly forget the spread-
sheet commands and details.  I give them a quick reference
sheet when we start.  I also give them activity sheets
for the project they are working on.  I tell them they
can lose the project sheet when they are finished with it,
but they should hang onto the quick reference for future
use.  We'll see if that happens!
Steve
