For sure.  VPython rocks.  I even have a stack of red/blue stereo glasses
here somewhere, which I intend to use (John Zelle pointed me to this
feature, and I used it at OSCON 2004 to good effect).

I had Python 2.3 installed in my classroom, so I'll be using older versions
of Vpython and PyGeo.  However, I'm scheduled to do this class again in the
spring and will expect to use Python 2.4 and its add-ons.

Here's a recent post giving some more overview on how I thinking about math
education these days:

Regarding the Yahoo egroup I intend to set up around this class, I'm
thinking I could open membership to interested edu-sig subscribers, as well
as to my students.  I'll post more details soon.
