Stuart Constable, Heathfield, EnglandThe CLEA projects are extremely useful in the classes I run at the former site of the Royal Greenwich Observatory in Herstmonceux, East Sussex. Thank you for preparing them!
Cameron Bell, Mooroolbark College, Mooroolbark , Victoria, AustraliaThis project is fantastic. It is helping me change the way teachers think about teaching astronomy. It is less a history lesson and now a more investigative approach and helps me communicate the concept of scientific modelling.
Jose H Pena, UNAM, Mexico, DF, MexicoI teach at the University of Mexico a course in observational astronomy. I have used clea's practices in photometry and spectroscopy of the pleiades, combined with the data available and my students have found these practics very stimulating and interesting. You have done a great job.
B A Kagali, Bangalore University, Bangalore, IndiaYour exercises have been very useful to us in teaching astronomy to our M.Sc students.Thanks a lot.

Firstly allow me to congratulate you on one of the most useful astronomy lab exercise sites I have ever visited on the WWW! I lecture in South Africa at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, where we have some 20K students. I will have no hesitation in informing my applied math/physics students of your extremely insightful and well designed exercises, some even including slewing in the animations!....My students are ENTHRALLED by your CLEA software. Their eyes were agog with the PHOTOMETRY exercise... opening the dome.... selecting a filter, etc etc!!
Dr. Nigel Marshall at Queen Mary School in Lytham, UK:
I downloaded the spectral analysis software for use in my school. It is excellent - many thanks. Cheers and keep up the good work.

Thanks for your wonderful set of practical labs in astronomy I have used a number of these labs with my students and found them and found them to be an excellent educational resource. I have developed a number of lessons around them and from the reports of my students they seem to rate as some of the most interesting activities in Astronomy and Physics. My students have been able to relate these labs to their practical astronomical observations and I have a marked improvement in the quality and accuracy of their observations. Once again thankyou very much.
Neil Charlton of Waterlooville, United Kingdom:I teach the equivalent of high school physics in England. This software is definitely the way to go - superb!
