Mrs. Clayton’s Math Classes

Today I will be speaking to Mrs. Clayton’s 7th period class about alternative presentation tools online. Here are some examples I found from Math classes around the world using these tools:

1) Slideshare.net - Online Power Point repository (PPT YouTube) - http://www.slideshare.net/dkuropatwa/tags/math

2) AP Calculus Wiki - 2007-2008; 2006-2007 - How does a wiki work? Common Craft Show

Math Quotes on the world’s biggest encyclopedia

3) Flickr Related Rates - creating metaphors for Math solutions. Students take photos of objects and actions and then add Flickr notes to the pictures they take.
