very nice! as the computer teacher in an elementary school and developer
of curriculum at the district level, as well as a doctoral student, and
researcher,
i often find myself in this situation.
your articulation of this method/approach/perspective

do you have these function circle diagrams up on the web somewhere?
i succumbed to early cultural conditioning and avoided science classes
like the cooties when i was younger and so am sorely lacking in the tools
and metaphors of science (outside of chaos theory and quantum physics
which i understand as poetry).
