THinGS I NeeD to CHeCK OuT

THinGS I Need to CHeCK Out oVEr WIntER BReAK!!



Some neat apps, or tools I've stumbled across... and want to remember...

Tiny url-- create a shortened url --especially when one is way too long to post on blogs or forums.. Tiny URL

Put your friends' faces on your background of twitter Twilk

needing to understand La TeX found this website Getting Started With LaTeX

Maybe creating a cheat sheet with the most commonly used latex instructions for math operators/symbols might be the solution. I mean... remembering that I need "$\leq$" surround by the latex code to represent the mathematical "less than or equal's sign"

OMG-- I totally forgot about Zoho Writer.. so glad I had a chance to review. I can easily keyboard my notes from class--into Zoho and post to the mathcounts4ever blog straight from Zoho-- and keep the math type!! looks to good to be true!! WooHoo!!

Zoho Writer.. and so much more

Removing the "Next Blog" (and the Nav Tool) on my Classroom Blog (not this one) took some time. I had to find three specific lines in the Layout using html-- and they just seemed to elude me. Finally located those three lines towards the bottom of the html But followed instructions -- Success. Find instructions at The Real Blogger Status

However, this is causing some difficulty.. now I can't seem to easily get back to edit my own blogs..


Sprixi free pictures creative commons, etc.. great source of pix

Twitlonger just what I need when I can't fit my words into 140 characters

How to find anything on the Internet

Eric's bookmarks... I have it but just incase...Esheninger
Great Research Web 2.0 Cool Tools for School

Math Help Websites

Need a place to keep these websites handy-- as well as to encourage others to check out... twitter works well for getting it out to others... but reminding myself...hmmm... that's another story

Wired Math

This website looks interesting and may help my students writing math type
Algebra Lab

Definitely need to check this out and get my students using this online flashcard... its free.. and students could easily create their own-- I could as well and tell them to searc for the one's I created-- or post them on my website... Free Online Flashcards

Another Flash cards made online-free & can share with friends at FlashCardFriends

Fun website about numbers.. just for fun... Numbers Gossip.. all about any number

Maybe this isn't math help but these comics make me chuckle...
Unpractical Math but the teacher section looks great ... need to check out what is available for students....
