Please see also the same topic "Great tool, multiple angles?". It is a nice
applet, and an interesting problem, but I wonder how it is meant to be applied
by the author. Random clicks generate different directions and so number of
reflections, but how are they measured and compared? I'd re-check that, but
the server seems to be down at the moment. A lot that goes along with this and
any similar applet has to do with teacher preparation before and during the use.
My wife works in an historical site. Some school-children run wild. Others
don't, but have nothing to ask or add. Others come well-prepared with notes
and questions, and a clear agenda.
David.
