Comments: "My students and I have been working for some time now on the web page for the ThinkQuest competition. My students have been working very hard on this project and mostly on their own. When they first approached me on the idea several months ago, I agreed to do it with them because they were very motivated to do so. I believe their skills will allow them to do very well in the competition. The students are very motivated to work on this web page because they were the ones who wanted to do it to begin. We have been collaborating on this project on a very casual basis. We first meet to discuss the idea as a group and from that point on we have been meeting on a less formal basis. We have been communicating through visits and email. Both ways have proved very effective. I appreciate the competition that you have allowed them to enter. It gave them a strong motivation to do work that is very valuable."
