<p>I added a upload function, where they can test their model with its size and orientation. This is very handy, because the students can check themself, if everything is fine.</p>
<p>I also created this: <a href="http://php.educanet2.ch/steffisburg/flyyourplane/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://php.educanet2.ch/steffisburg/flyyourplane/</a> Just for fun ;-) Unfortunately there is a bug in the script and it starts only after some arrow keys are hit. </p>

<p>Nice Job!</p>
<p>I've seen the worksheet in german and the video on youtube, really nice job.</p>
<p>The part that normally turns out to be more difficult for students</p>
<p>is the part where they have to simmetryze and then postion the to halves of the car.</p>
<p>Some students just avoid doing that by modelling the wheels and the wiindows</p>
<p>on both parts of the car, even if they dont match perferctly.</p>

<p>The students loved driving the testcar on Google Earth und they could hardly start to modelling the cars. I gave them Your worksheet. Huh, they complaint like hell: "We do not unterstand the Italien language." I am not sure, if they had read the instructions (or the images) more carefully, when it was written in German. ;-) By now I did the translation and added a screencast. We will finish the project in 3 weeks after the holidays. Look at:…</p>

<p>Of course I can share it.</p>
<p>The code is a modification of a google experiment</p>
<p>and it is actually already public.</p>
<p>I always wanted to make the code cleaner but never had the time to do it.</p>
<p>Right now it consists of the following files:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.guzman.it/guida/index.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">index.html</a> (main html file, also contains some javascript)</p>
