Mathematics and Multimedia GeoGebra Step-by-Step Tutorial SeriesThe objective of the GeoGebra Step-by-Step Tutorial Series is not only to teach the readers how to use the software, but also to suggest how to use GeoGebra in teaching and learning mathematics. Most of the tutorials are (or will be) linked to related articles containing explanations and proofs about the mathematics discussed in the tutorials.

Really interesting way of doing a multimedia search. Not sure it's classroom safe, even with safe search on there were several images that were beyond borderline. When I did compound search "algebra" + "linear" much tighter and deleted virtually all inappropriate material. I just like the way you can explore the information. If you have students gathering information and tagging with specific tags like "wjhsconlit09" then you could pull up all of that material without interference. I think it's a great tool for that kind of exploration.

New York Times is getting it right. What a great, simple multimedia presentation. 

I nice tool to create PPT presentations with audio and to share those presentations. In the development of these PPT sharing tools, this is a nice tool for having students create simple multimedia presentations. 

Add audio to a slideshow.  Making slideshows multimedia! Easy to use and has a free component as well as a pay option. 

ationalatlas.gov™ contains a remarkable range of products and services to meet the diverse needs of people who are looking for maps and geographic information about America. Dynamic maps are innovative illustrations of geographic phenomena. We combine the science of mapping with today's multimedia to offer maps that are useful, understandable, and that stimulate interactivity.

While some professors seek to exclude the devices from the classroom, others are creating multimedia-rich curricula in which students can draw on online resources and interact with each other. Banning laptops is just plain wrong, according to Don Krug, associate professor at UBC's department of curriculum studies. He says students are adults, and the best a professor can hope for is a "respectful learning environment," where students limit their own behaviour. "If they really want to learn the information, they will. They're paying a lot of money," he says. "We're better off teaching them how to be responsible learners." Shows two polar solutions to laptop problems: total ban & adapting curricula to include multi-media interaction. Also presents respectful learning environment as best course for students who are adults. - comment by Kent Gerber

Project based learning site that is incredibly easy to navigate and create. students can easily create multimedia projects using drag and drop functionality. Even teachers can do it!

Great mathematics blog from a young Filipino mathematician, Guillermo Bautista Jr. He does a very nice job of making the mathematics accessible through digital media. He discusses a very wide variety of topics. 

As always NASA does a great job incorporating multimedia into the experience. Just share the site with teachers and let them pick their application. 

Multimedia search tool. Interesting but it may not be totally safe for classroom use.

Multimedia online note taking tool. Students can capture screen images, make audio recordings for notes, or write text notes to accompany drawings. These different media can then be organized into videos!  I envision it being similar to Evernote with more interaction capabilities and with the great addition of being able to create videos of the information gathered. I like this tool!

This wiki collects information about tools and resources that can help scholars (particularly in the humanities and social sciences) conduct research more efficiently or creatively. Whether you need software to help you manage citations, author a multimedia work, or analyze texts, Digital Research Tools will help you find what you're looking for. Not all the software is free, but it does provide an extensive list of software for use.

Get the Math is a multimedia project about algebra in the real world. See how professionals working in fashion, videogame design, and music production use algebraic thinking. Then take on interactive challenges related to those careers.

Very interesting idea for having students/teachers create a story using search queries. Doesn't work all of the time for all search topics, but has some very interesting applications. 

Loved this post on engaging students in higher level thinking/inquiry. Horray for student voices!

Nice click and drag story boarding site. Easy to use to set up characters, setting, etc.

The potential power of IVC. Perhaps we can reference somewhere if needed.

Very comprehensive list of digital storytelling sites.
