"Beyond simple math and grouping (like "(x+2)(x-4)"), there are some functions you can use as well. Look below to see them all. They are mostly standard functions written as you might expect. You can also use "pi" and "e" as their respective constants. Please note: You should not use fractional exponents. For example, don't type "x^(1/3)" to compute the cube root of x. Instead, use "root(x,3)". When you want a quick graph of a function, you can just go to http://graphsketch.com/[function], like http://graphsketch.com/sin(x). You can even separate multiple equations with commas, like http://graphsketch.com/sin(x),x^2."

littleBits consists of tiny circuit-boards with simple, unique functions engineered to snap together with magnets. No soldering, no wiring, no programming, just snap and play. Each bit has a simple, unique function (light, sound, sensors, buttons, thresholds, pulse, motors, etc), and modules snap to make larger circuits. Just as LEGOs™ allow you to create complex structures with very little engineering knowledge, littleBits are small, simple, intuitive, blocks that make creating with sophisticated electronics a matter of snapping small magnets together.

Interactive that allows us to graph trig functions.

WorldWide Telescope (WWT) enables your computer to function as a virtual telescope, bringing together imagery from the best ground and space-based telescopes in the world. Experience narrated guided tours from astronomers and educators featuring interesting places in the sky.

Allows computer to function as Virtual Telescope. Brings images from best telescopes in world. Has Expert guided tours.

Although central to the business of higher education, the LMS has also become a symbol of the status quo that supports administrative functions more effectively than teaching and learning activities. Personal learning environments offer an alternative, but with their own limitations. An open learning network helps bridge the gap between the PLE and the LMS, combining the best elements of each approach. The initial implementation of an OLN at Brigham Young University represents a new learning platform model in higher education.

Safe Exam Browser is a webbrowser-environment to carry out online exams safely. The software changes any computer into a secure workstation. It regulates the access to any utilities like system functions, other websites and applications and prevents unauthorised resources being used during an exam.

Works with Moodle, although I haven't tried it yet.

It's funny...with a chromebook and using chrome sync, this app loses some functionality. I can access all my stuff by living on the web with Google products and syncing my web browsing... boy do they know a lot about me.

"Create simple diagrams quickly SimpleDiagrams is a small desktop application that helps you express your ideas quickly and simply. There's just enough functionality to describe a thought or capture a process. SimpleDiagrams keeps the visual expression clear through the simple design of library items and backgrounds."

from site: Like the "Cc:" function in email, switchAbit lets you write content once and publish to multiple services. (e.g. Send a tweet and switchAbit will route it Facebook and Jaiku). Control how and when switchAbit is activated by setting up "switchboards" and tags you create.

If you use openoffice or thought about it but worried about how it would function, here are some extensions to make it work the way you want it to.

For Leadership Day 2009, here are some key questions that I'd ask about the technology leadership function in any school district:

FLIP cameras are small handheld video cameras that can record 30 or 60 minutes worth of video. They connect to your computer with a USB plug that "flips" out from the side of the camera. The functions are basic, but the ease of use will make you forget that is lacks some bells and whistles "regular" camcorders have.

drop.io has rich phone functionality. simply hit the 'drop it' button to setup a free conference call line (not recorded) and a voicemail line (recorded). use them as you please. you can even have your voicemail automatically forwarded to email addresses, twitter accounts, itunes (for podcasting), or your blog.
