ArtisanCam - Activities - Picture Book Maker
Neat easy picture book maker. I just made a book in under 5 minutes, very easy (although my story wasn't very good). Wonder how to create more permanent works?

Great examples of problems/data sets that can be analyzed. I do think there are a considerable amount of regression equations that may/may not be categorized appropriately. That said, it's a great set of questions to discuss with students, great data sets that can be updated with a little bit of research as most are 10 years old.
One of the best compilations of regression problems that I've come across.

NASA generated website with pictures, podcasts, blog posts of current happenings around the world. I explored one example, the recent Tsunami. Great pictures of the island and of showing the wave in the ocean! Also, great story accompanying the pics.
I, also, loved the interactive global map with the geolocated pictures.
Although I haven't listened to the Science for the Hungry World podcast, I subscribe to several NASA podcasts and think they are great for teaching!
