Iron Man - Nice example. Have you thought about integrating community journalism (ala iReport) such as pictures of the event into the project. I can imagine clicking on a dot in order to see a community generated picture of the bear's adventure. What class is this for, BTW?

Oh, and to your other question, this is not for a class. I am working on a summer research program at my college, dealing with interactive journalism. In a few weeks we will be using Scratch to teach basic programming skills and journalism basics to 8th graders. So some of what I am doing is required for my research, but a lot of it is on my own as well, since these are topics that interest me greatly. I'll be posting more projects related to community journalism throughout the next few weeks, so check back later for more!

Yes, I had definitely thought of possibilities similar to that, although your comment still brings up some new ideas for me. When I first started doing some of these journalism-related projects (like the food comparison one) I thought it would be cool if there were more ways to bring in information from different news sources to do more up to date projects. If I had done this when the event happened, and had access to community photos, that could have made a decent project really great. I am told that MIT is working on a way to input info from the net automatically, like an RSS feed. That would greatly expand the usefulness of projects like this.
