Hi Clint...
As the husband of a Middle School Math/Science teacher, I could use links to Lesson Plans built around any of the receivable satellites that would help garner interest in these kids during their "formative" years.
With all the emphasis on testing and measurable results in the classroom, teachers have scant time to develop interesting science projects that are outside the state and federal "frameworks" and won't be tested for at the end of the year.
There must be a treasure trove of pre-existing lesson plans and incorporation ideas which she could tap into bringing Amateur Satellites or satellites in general into the classroom.

... With ARISSat-1's main mission being Educational I would like to hear about people's experiences with schools in using ARISSat-1 as a teaching tool ...
What do you need? Classroom lessons abound for all aspects of amateur radio as it applies to the satellites - from elementary school to college classrooms.
Each ARISS contact has a lot of work "behind the scenes" at the campuses. There are phenomenal teachers and school administrations who really get behinds their ARISS projects.
Be a little more specific with what you need - and I can either assist you, or point you towards excellent resources.
