Congratulations! These look really nice! If you wanted to make them more useful and inspiring to other teachers, it would be wonderful to pair them with an essay on how they can be used effectively in class. Do students use them to explore, like microworlds? Do you use them during classroom discussions, for posing hypotheses or consolidating several ideas? Do students use them as evidence during debates? Do students get used to having these and think up others they wish they had? Do they become touchstones students use to remind themselves of something they previously understood? Supporting social practices is an important part of a technology--folks without experience in schools (or informal learning environments) sometimes picture educational technologies being used alone in a vacuum, the mooc high school. I'm pretty hopeful about using educational technologies to help teachers grow their teaching practices.
