The potential here, always tantalizes.  I studied vectors in my fifth 
year of highschool.  If you wanted to go to university in those days you 
had to take five years of highschool.  It was a fairly tedious year for 
young men and women anxious to enter the world and I think that math 
would have been a lot more vivid to me if I'd had something like POV to 
play with.  But I admit I don't have any specific ideas about how to 
incorporate POV with teaching.  Any attempts I have made to interest 
highschool math teachers I know have not lead to much interest.  I would 
be interested to know what you are doing.
