[the following is a combination of two emails from the same instructor]

  I am a high school teacher who is transitioning our program from electronics to Industrial Engineering Technology. We have included aeronautics and aviation in the curriculum since it is an interesting and motivating subject area from which we can teach applied physics and other areas of study in a secondary school pre-engineering/technology
career path.
  I have found the Allstar web site a valuable tool and since we have 40 internet terminals in our classroom we are able to use it to its potential. It is excellent in its format and understandable to all of our students since we serve those of all academic levels and abilities.
  Although our pre-engineering/ pre-technician studies program is primarily an electronics program, the aviation/aerospace portion of the program has been difficult due to a lack of instructional materials. Your site turns out to be invaluable. It is understandable and the students seem to enjoy browsing to find answers to the questions they are asked on quizzes. They launched the hot air balloons this week that they designed and built using a TQM instructional strategy and last Saturday, I was able to give several students and their parents orientation rides in my Cherokee 180.  It is great that the instruction I offer through projects, demonstrations and and lectures are reinforced by the quality Instructional tool FIU and NASA has provided. You will notice a relatively large group of new registered users today. Hopefully the number of hits recently will help demonstrate the need to continue this effort.
  We will be using navigational processes this week to teach triangulation, geometric applications, scales and rate/time calculation.

Thank you again for providing a quality learning tool.

Dear Mr. Levy,
At Pine Creative Arts Academy in my Physical Science class I printed and copied the ALLSTAR pages while my students made paper gliders and experimented with the control surfaces. The information was understandable to the kids and they successfully learned how airplanes fly.  Thank you for a useful web site.

We use your website as part of our Aerospace Science class at Fort Collins High School. It is an excellent resource.
Thanks for all of your efforts.

Hello,
Im a Technology Teacher in upstate NY. I am getting ready to do a unit on Theory of Flight. The students have to design a wing and make a model plane. It is a contest to see who can get their model to fly straight and the highest.
THANK YOU for the website. It will work great as on introduction to the Learning Unit. I think the site was great and had a lot of good information for my students to use.

Again Thank You:
Steve Davis
