"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. The apps are based on Wolfram Alpha's computational search engine, which can do things like solve integration problems, calculate flying times between cities or plot a person's life on a timeline."

WOW, some very interesting tools here, will have a look and see what i can make of them. More to come.

Claymation workshop

The Methods course that I am teaching this summer has just embarked on a short round of teaching practice classes. To help the teachers plan their first lesson, I pulled a few old favourites out of the drawer. They are roughly divided into those that have a mainly interpersonal function (such as forging a collaborative group dynamic) and those that are primarily diagnostic (identifying strengths, weaknesses, interests, and styles). Feel free to post variants, additions - or attributions (apart from the few I dreamed up myself, such as the star warmer, I have no idea who invented the rest).

It doesn't matter if you're a veteran teacher or a newbie just now taking college courses - finding new ways to get students engaged in the classroom is always a great thing. One way many teachers are reaching out is with the multitude of material found on the web, allowing them to turn everyday lessons into a multimedia experience.
