Using technology in Math class: student-centered
I'm a Math 8 teacher doing a unit on Algebra. I use technology in my instruction (teach with touch-screen tablet computer + digital projector, have a class website with videos, games and resources, blog, etc) but want to find more student-centered activities utilizing technology to promote understanding and engagement in mathematics.
Does anyone have any ideas or want to collaborate on a technogy-rich Algebra unit?
Thanks :)

This site has some examples (assignments and student work) of using technology in the math classroom.
Hopefully it will be of some help.

Thanks Lonny! Using Glogster is a great idea for students to demonstrate their understanding.... loved the "integer rap"!! Mind if I show it to my class?

For more generic resources you could look at http://www.freetech4teachers.com by Richard Bryne - he covers some awesome free tech resources to use in classrooms.
We also recently launched a FREE math practice program for teachers you could check it out at www.tenmarks.com/teachers and see if its a fit :)
