HotChalk is a collaborative online resource for preK-12 teachers, students and parents. It provides an easy-to-use learning management system accessible by any Internet browser, a media-rich library of teacher-contributed lesson plans and digital content, including audio, video, textbook, and assessment content as well as online professional development for teachers.

I found this an interesting web application. Please Note: HotChalk's online tools and community content are free, but their premium content like NBC News video and McGraw-Hill Education's professional development courses require a paid subscription. They do give you a free trial. Another note: HotChalk covers all preK-12 subjects, including Math, Science, Music, Language Arts, Computers & Internet, Social Studies, Art and Physical Education. Their mission is to improve the lives of teachers.... I have to agree with that goal...

With MagToo, you can create free image presentations known as "MagShows," to display on your blog or on social network profiles like Facebook or Myspace. You can create a MagShow that is a Slide Show or a Panorama Show, and MagToo will even 'auto-stitch' photos together to create your panoramic image. Add any music you want, or record voice narration.

Anytime an educator can bring television clips into the classroom, I think the students really can relate. In a math class, there are many references in prime time television. The CBS drama Numbers is most notable, but CSI, Game Shows, etc. make reference to math concepts that could be easy to incorporate into a lesson.
