Say it ain't so...



People with too much money have invented this spacesuit that's main purpose is to allow human's to dive back into earth's atmosphere! Yeah that's right....Fire protection from hurdling 2500 ft per second! Great idea....Tell me when it's available on EBay.

GeoGebra

When you find something really great (and free) you just have to share it! Within our Sebago Alliance Tech Integrators meeting yesterday we were developing an online moodle class for our districts to participate in a professional development opportunity. One of the Integrators asked if we had ever heard of GeoGebra? Sounded very Mathy to me, and I admitted ignorance. (I'm really a mathophobe.) She demo-ed the application and I have to admit I was really impressed at what it offered to students. Here's the link:
http://www.geogebra.org/cms/

GeoGebra is a free and multi-platform dynamic mathematics software for schools that joins geometry, algebra and calculus. It received several international awards including the European and German educational software awards.
Excellent website with printable handouts.

It's nice to know good things are still free!
