 * ~ What we found ||~ Comments if you have used it in the classroom ||
 * = Geogebra

A great resource that can be used in any classroom from K-12 Is especially useful for graphing and algebra equations. ||= Geogebra is a great math resource. In five minutes it will be obvious that you can use Geogebra today in your classroom. In five years you will still be learning new tricks and different ways to use Geogebra in your classroom.

With this you can: Graph on a Cartesian plane. Create angles, lines, symmetrical object. Compare equations, graphs, and tables. And a whole lot more It is free and can be downloaded or used from a web browser. ||
 * [|Better Lesson]

A community of teachers sharing lessons and units they have created and used in their own classrooms || The more you share the more you will get out of this site. Not only will your lessons always be saved, but you can email them to a sub. (if it weren't blocked in our district) You can get great lesson ideas. (real lessons used in real classrooms) The more we add and share as a district the better our district will be as a whole. ||
 * [|Jing Project]

A screen capture program. Instantly capture what you are doing on your computer either as a still picture or as a movie you can watch. || Screen capture gives you (or your students) the ability to create a quick instructional video and save it for future use or even give it out for homework. ||
 * [|Geometry Curriculum]

This is the entire curriculum created by a very good math teacher in Utah. He has since moved to a technology administrator at another district, but you are free to take and use any or all of his curriculum in your classroom.

Sorry you cannot access this blog from behind district firewalls. || When we atart getting into the habit of sharing what works in our classroom this is what we get. ||
 * Voice thread

Similar to Jing Project but different. Voice thread allows you to upload a picture or movie and then add voice comments. It is also possible for those who listen to your comment in the future to add their own comments. || I loosely define Web 2.0 as the ability to interact back and forth over the Internet. In this case you can: For more uses check the voicethread for education wiki ||
 * Create an artifact and add a voice thread explaining what you think is happening.
 * Scan and post a private artifact with your comments to a single student.
 * Create an artifact and ask students to add their own comments.
 * Have students create artifacts and let you or other students add comments.
 * etc... Oh and artifacts are more than just Word docs. they are pictures, movies, documents, powerpoints, almost anything.
 * Math Playground

At first glace this looks like just another math game site, but it isn't. This site has instructional videos, Word problems, virtual manipulatives, and more. All activities are focused more on hitting common math standards first and having fun second. || Use this site to explore math topics as well as practice skills. Students can use Math Playground to:
 * Watch a video explaining a concept
 * Explore with virtual manipulatives
 * functions
 * spinners
 * transformations
 * geoboards
 * etc..
 * Practice skills
 * Practice with word problems
 * Play with flash cards
 * Print worksheets
