Lego Space
http://www.legospace.com/en-us/activities/Default.aspx
In this activity, students will work with the LEGO® MINDSTORMS® Education NXT to discover the effects of microgravity on a gyroscope. Watch STEM integration come to life in your classroom, as learners explore scientific laws dealing with kinesthetic energy, use technology and engineering skills to develop and program a working GyroBot, and use math and language skills to adequately communicate their findings.

Bluetooth video tutorials from Damien Kee
Some more excellent material from Damien Kee
Part 1: Connecting 2 NXT’s together. This shows you what menu items you need to choose

Part 2: Simple Bluetooth communication. Having an action on one NXT trigger a Bluetooth message to be sent to the other NXT which inturn generates a new action.

Part 3: Using one NXT as a remote, to control a second NXT. This requires constant Bluetooth messages to be sent from the Master NXT to the Slave NXT.

NXT Wiki
http://nxt-wiki.rjmcnamara.com/
From his site:
“The NXT-Wiki began life initially as a means of easily accessing my repository of Mindstorms NXT Data in an orderly & timely manor. I decide after some trial an error to use a the MediaWiki Engine, running on my home Webserver, which I use for testing the websites I’m developing. As the NXT-Wiki began to grow, I decide that other NXT users may find the resource useful themselves. I then transferred the NXT-Wiki to my Live Hosting Server for everyone to access”
