Here is a more friendly version of Wolfram Alpha, essentially the google of math. Students can get step by step instructions on problem solving... this could act as an at home tutor. It is a sign up site, but it looks like this is free for teachers...not sure if there is a cost for students.
This blog post links to some video lessons for AP calc classes. It also refers to Karl Fisch's youtube lessons and the increasingly popular Khan Academy app lessons.
What is interesting is the idea of using the video lessons as assigned homework (watching taking notes- i.e. lecture) while the class time becomes strictly problem solving work and project based learning.
I am really fond of this idea and would be interested to see what the rest of your thoughts and comments are.
Interactive, collaborative whiteboard...with math symbols to boot!!!! this could be a sweet tool for our classroom... think of the interactive possibilities :)
This site offers a few games and simulations for algebra, algebra 2, trigonometry and geometry classes. These activites/simulations offer great visuals for instructing.
Karl Fisch is going to be teaching a blended algebra course and is looking for input. This blog will be interesting to follow and see what comments are left.
1000's of tutorials on how to use different pieces of technology. From simple cut and paste to directions embedding videos and building websites. May be a great source for teachers as we move to one to one.
This video was introduced to me by Sara Karsten. An engaging and funny talk that points to the failures/downfalls of math instruction/curriculum.
Does Dan Meyer's claims about how we teach have truth? How does this reflection challenge our instruction?
An engaging 10 minute talk challenging educators to reflect on their instructional strategies in light of the fact that students no longer need to go to school to access information/knowledge. Furthermore, she challenges us to consider allowing students to have a voice in forming their knowledge, learn through experience and failure.
Short videos that capture the math and science of real world jobs. Well done examples that are supported with small project based lessons. A subscription site that allows non-subscribers to view a limited number of videos.
Great site as a reference for geometry students and instructors. Offers dynamic interactive math applets. Provides thorough definitions and visual aides.
A paid subscription site that offers interactive modules (gizmos) might not be worth subscribing to, but worth the look to see what can be done with technology.
