Jim,
I tried to link this to your post...but could not.
Trig is such a fun thing to teach - so much better when the kids can see it on the computers.
For those looking for a great way to introduce the graphs of trig functions there is a really cool applet using a Ferris wheel. I am not sure of the web address but if you google it you may find it.
If you can't, let me know and I will work a little harder to remember it.

Thanks for doing this blog Jim! Let's see what we can do to get more on here!
I love the Can It! module. I teach the next level. Whenever someone is stuck on the sin(x) cos(x), I simply remind them to think of the can activies and it all comes back.
