With these six tools you'll never have to cite another book by hand or tally up survey forms. You can save time sharing slide shows and converting media files to new formats. And my favorite - you can use the web to showcase your reading list and connect with others in a social environment.

We found that access to equipment and software seldom led to widespread teacher and student use. Most teachers were occasional users or nonusers. When they used computers for classroom work, more often than not their use sustained rather than altered existing patterns of teaching practice. We offer two interrelated explanations for these challenges to the dominant assumptions that guide present technological policy making.

This is a collection of movie clips in which Mathematics appears. I'm collecting DVDs and VHS tapes of such movies. This is a working document to be extended over time. I started this page during spring break 2006. See also the page "Begin of lectures in college teaching" and "End of lectures in college teaching". To see the movies larger, watch the quicktime ipod version, which are files with .m4v extension.
