Math on Netbooks- Math and Web2.0
Okay I am surprised that I did not get many replies on my earlier discussion about going 1:1 with netbooks.So I am trying a more specific question-
Many existing 1:1 programs use tablet pcs but our community can not support the expense. We are going 1;1 with netbooks. I need some help however to support our math program because the schools I have talked to use the tablet function a lot in Math..SO
Without a tablet how does a math teacher best utilize 1;1 computing

check out http://wolframalpha.com
you can use it to make graphs, call up data sets, compare numbers, integrate, differentiate, etc.
this could be a starting point. If you have a specific problem you are trying to address, such as typesetting a math test, you may need a different tool.
Take a look at wolfram alpha. For example if you type: plot sin(x) from -4pi to 8pi wolfram alpha will do it, try it out.

We are using netbooks in a 1:1 program in my building. I teach 6th grade math and use a website to post information for the students. I typically make a video lesson (about 2 minutes) as a preview and tutorial. I then link the notes from class (I use Mimio software but attach the notes as a PDF) so that students can use them while at home. Lastly, I have been using trackstar for educators to have a common place to have games by topic. The students visit this website and can play any of the linked games for the chapter. I hope that this information is helpful. Any other suggestions that other educators are doing in the classroom would be great.

Have you considered GeoGebra? Awesome free graphing/geometry software. Also Google Earth is a fantastic resource for student projects.
