Hammurabi and the Microsoft Encarta Lesson Collection
.
It all started off with a wonderful lesson about ancient Mesopotamia and Hammurabi that was very kid tested and approved.  I decided to put the lesson online when I needed to create a web site for a graduate class I took over the Internet.  The lesson had a life of its own.  It grew and grew, eating up enormous hours of time over six weeks, and included lots of original illustrations.  Then, when "finished", the professor suggested even more alterations and then submission into the Microsoft Encarta Lesson Collection contest. 

I won Grand Prize!    With that came a lot of attention including Microsoft Encarta's Featured Teacher of the Month and a computer.  All this honor and still no autographed picture from Bill Gates.
