"Are you an educator looking for new ways to grab your students' attention and liven up your daily lessons? Visit the new Wolfram|Alpha for Educators site, where you'll find examples, lesson plans, and even videos on how you can incorporate the technology of Wolfram|Alpha into your classroom. Peruse the video gallery to get a quick introduction to Wolfram|Alpha, and hear from educators and students who are using it in lectures, activities, and research projects. From there take a peek at one of the many lesson plans, in subject areas such as science, mathematics, and social studies. Once you get the hang of it, you can even submit your own lesson plans to share with other educators. This site also points to many other Wolfram educational resources, including the Wolfram Demonstrations Project and MathWorld. We have even set up an Education group on the Wolfram|Alpha Community site so that you can connect with other educators. So the next time you want to do something new and different in your classroom, check out Wolfram|Alpha for Educators to spark your imagination."

"Join us on Wednesday, October 21, 2009, at noon CDT, for the start of Wolfram|Alpha Homework Day, a groundbreaking marathon live interactive web event that brings together students, parents, and educators from across the United States to solve their toughest assignments and explore the power of using Wolfram|Alpha for school, college, and beyond."

This should be GREAT!

Learning all about the 50 US states and the history of the presidents of the United States is a pivotal part of the education of Americans. To assist people learning about these key aspects or those who want to freshen up on their trivia, we have released the Wolfram US States Reference App and the Wolfram US Presidents Reference App, both for iOS.

Their portal for Education. "Wolfram Research is dedicated to the advancement of science and mathematics education. For both students and educators, this educational portal contains a collection of resources spanning all precollege grade levels, including dynamic classroom Demonstrations from the Wolfram Demonstrations Project. Explore the topics below to find Demonstrations for your classroom or for individual study."

Are textbook publishers scared yet? Wolfram Education Portal goes live:

The Wolfram Demonstrations Project is an open-code resource that uses dynamic computation to illuminate concepts in science, technology, mathematics, art, finance, and a remarkable range of other fields. Its daily-growing collection of interactive illustr

"Wolfram Alpha is on a mission to develop an "app for every course." The company launched its first three subject-specific iPhone apps on Tuesday, and all three - Algebra, Calculus, and Music Theory - look to be promising educational tools."

What's new at Wolfram Alpha. Can it get even better?

This is VERY cool! With this Firefox addon you can see both your google search results AND the Wolfram|Alpha search results, side by side!

Wow! See both results on the same page! LOVE IT!

"Wolfram|Alpha is a free online computational knowledge engine that generates answers to questions in real time by doing computations on its own vast internal knowledge base. Our long-term goal is to make all systematic knowledge immediately computable and accessible to everyone. This can be valuable to educators in many ways. "

"A free resource of interactive visualizations, from elementary education to the frontiers of research."

Check this out. Send it to your math and science teachers, especially.

Not just math resources, but links to demonstrations (especially higher level math) and there's science linked here too

More of the wondrous WolframAlpha project. This is the demonstration site that shows some of the most astounding computations that this search engine is capable of doing.

Share this with your math teachers. Let this start the discussion of what it might be like in ten years. Twenty years. It's a game-changer. I hope they all realize that.

Yields two results when you search. Google search results on the left, and WolframAlpha results on the right. Especially helpful since the Google/Wolframalpha FF addon no longer works with the new Google results layout.

It's my new start page
