"DoodleBuzz is a new way to read the news through an experimental interface that allows you to create typographic maps of current news stories."

The Case Creator is a video-based case creation tool designed to provide teacher education faculty and students a way of sharing a common pedagogical experience through the use of real video embedded in a highly interactive interface. Case Creator extends work done on video-based teacher education instructional technologies with the main purpose of offering the teacher a new creative avenue to excite and motivate their student teachers.

List of the best Paint.net tutorial. Paint.NET is free image and photo editing software for computers that run Windows. It features an intuitive and innovative user interface with support for layers, unlimited undo, special effects, and a wide variety of useful and powerful tools. An active and growing online community provides friendly help, tutorials, and plugins. It started development as an undergraduate college senior design project mentored by Microsoft, and is currently being maintained by some of the alumni that originally worked on it. Originally intended as a free replacement for the Microsoft Paint software that comes with Windows, it has grown into a powerful yet simple image and photo editor tool. It has been compared to other digital photo editing software packages such as Adobe® Photoshop®, Corel® Paint Shop Pro®, Microsoft Photo Editor, and The GIMP.

" The customized interface creates a one-to-one learning environment with the professor while emphasizing graphical explanations and working through solution steps. Below each lecture video are detailed notes which highlight the most important points to remember as well as common student pitfalls.

Lastly, student comments are moderated by our instructors make sure any questions you have are answered."

Tech Tech Boom can best be described as a social network for high school students interested in science and math. The unique thing about Tech Tech Boom is that its user interface was designed by kids.

It's a Multiphysics World The real world is multiphysics in nature. Consider your mobile phone. The antenna receives electromagnetic waves, the touch screen or buttons are mechanical and electrical components, the battery involves chemical reactions and electrical current, and so on. A single device, but multiphysics. Since it's a multiphysics world, your simulation tool must be multiphysics capable in order to correctly capture the important aspects of your design. The COMSOL Multiphysics approach starts with first principles like transport phenomena, electromagnetic field theory, and solid mechanics as the basic fibers of the software. Then, in an elegant and flexible user interface, you can weave these fibers together in a self-consistent way to solve your particular simulation needs. "COMSOL allows us to couple mechanisms in a very nice and simple way, allowing us to understand their combined effect. This is the true power of simulation." -- Dr Roberto Suarez-Rivera of Schlumberger. COMSOL Multiphysics delivers the ideal tool to build simulations that accurately replicate the important characteristics of your designs. Its unparalleled ability to include all relevant physical effects that exist in the real world is known as multiphysics.

terrific tool that allows parents to educate themselves. nifty interface.

A great HTML5 animation suite with a professional feel. The platform uses a similar interface to Adobe Animator. Learn how to animate with tweening. The free starter version should be all schools and educators need.

This demo -- from Pattie Maes' lab at MIT, spearheaded by Pranav Mistry -- was the buzz of TED. It's a wearable device with a projector that paves the way for profound interaction with our environment. Imagine "Minority Report" and then some.

a collection of free, easy-to-read, and accessible books on a wide range of topics. Each book can be speech enabled and accessed using multiple interfaces (i.e. switches, alternative keyboards, touch screens, and dedicated AAC devices). The books may be downloaded as slide shows in PowerPoint, Impress, or Flash format.

Free online books for beginning readers of all ages. Some content more appropriate for teenagers. Use the favorites feature to pick books appropriate for you students.

Cool flash guides to Office 2007! Click a menu in an Office 2003 app and it shows you where it is in Office 2007.

A tag search for Flickr that creates virtual planetary systems for related tags. Very nifty interface.

PPT style presentation service. Can make PPT presentaitons on the web.

A new web app for presentations that is receiving high reviews.

A new slide web app that is receiving very high reviews. It works inside your web browser and has a very PowerPoint-like interface. I'll be adding this to my list of presentation software that we cover in my 9th grade course.

Great place for learning spelling words.

This site has millions of users. It's invaluable assistance for the weekly word study transforming this previously boring exercise into something fresh and fun. Great games, sweet user interface, free teacher training, a vocabulary of 45,000 words...It's worth using!

Help make spelling time a fun time! SpellingCity.com can be an invaluable part of every child's spelling and vocabulary education with over 42,000 spelling words and customizable sentences.

Nice interactive way of displaying data. SpicyNodes is a way to visualize online information that mimics that way that people look for things in the real world. Bits of information - such as text, links, photos, and other media - are placed into "nodes," which are then linked together in an appealing interface that invites exploration. SpicyNodes can be used for everything from mind maps and content portals to organizational charts and lesson plans.

Animated org charts. Cool tool for students to create and link ideas

nice tool to create, help visualise mathematical problems

I have only briefly trialled it but user interface is very bog standard education document look and feel. I reckon it's for administrators not students? Maybe try Buddypress or Elgg?

Take notes out of evernote and put them into a flashcard maker. Although the best student notetaking software, I believe, is and continues to be One NOte - the incredible apps and evernote trunk are attracting students because of how they help them study. The link up can happen and you can use studyblue to help you study on any type of device. I know this is memorization and "lower order" thinking but it is still a fact that it is part of learning today.
