I've been using IP for about 3 years, and have had one class make demos as
semester projects. We are using a power PC, an LCIII, a Classic II, and a
power book 180 for the demos, but the gest by far was on the performa
635cd, whcih was as close as one gets to real time. I'd be interested in
sharing demos, files or experiments the kids put together with you. One
really neat one was the complete simulation of a car crash, with and
without seatbelts. The kids put them together with flexible necks as
well-really showed the whiplash effects well, both in front and rear end
collisions. The projectile motion demo is really the best for classroom
demo, in real time on the performa one can vary the takeoff velocities,
angles and so on, and can do above elevation or below elevation shots.
Really the best I've seen for this sort of stuff. You might also try
circuit maker, a shareware product. I'll try to attach it.
