An article in the December, 2000, issue of Teaching Children Mathematics
titled "Adventures with Sir Cumference: Standard Shapes and Nonstandard
Units: discusses how to use the children's book, "Sir Cumference and the
First Round Table: A Math Adventure," by Cindy Neuschwander. It might give
you some ideas.

The Multimedia Project: Project-Based Learning with Multimedia at
http://pblmm.k12.ca.us has an inspiring range of materials including rubric
development, project journals and other organization strategies for
project-based learning.
Even though it's not specifically cooperative learning, many of the same
management strategies apply.

The Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) website has posted a
numberof documents relating to the Online Personal Privacy Act (S.2201)
whichreceived a favorable vote from the Senate Commerce Committee on May
16,2002. In its testimony to the Senate Commerce Committee, EPIC stated
thatthe legislation was necessary because the Internet creates an
"environmentwhere the data-collection practices are far more extensive than
in thephysical world. ...even the FTC has struggled to find a way to
applytraditional consumer protection law to the new challenges of
onlineprivacy." According to EPIC, the Online Personal Privacy Act will
help"establish trust and confidence inINTERNET PRIVACY BILL MOVES FORWARD the
