"This is a very neat sight. I like how you can do switch between 1D and 2D graphs. My suggestion would be to add shading to the 2D inequalities graphs, and to add directions but it sounds like you already have been given this suggestion. I can't…"

Alan Degener replied to Alan Degener's discussion New Math Resource - ShowTheMath.org"Thanks for taking a look and for the good suggestions. Often hard to see the UI pitfalls when you yourself are the creator.
I'll look into making a demo page - maybe even a video - to help people get started. "
Alan Degener replied to Scott Habeeb's discussion Apps, Ideas, & Advice for Using Tablets (Android or iPad)"Try QuestionPress - www.questionpress.com. It is web-based - not an app - but works well."
Joe Pascarelli replied to Alan Degener's discussion New Math Resource - ShowTheMath.org"Hello Alan,
I just tried out your site. It seems like a great concept, however it is a bit confusing to use. I wonder if perhaps somewhere you can incorporate instructions or a demo on the front page of the site. The instructions…"
Alan Degener replied to Alan Degener's discussion New Math Resource - ShowTheMath.org"Good suggestions. The problem with font size is trying to get it to fit on an iPod touch. Can't make it too big or it becomes too hard to follow.
Thanks for checking it out."

For those of you who teach algebra you might be interested in a new site I have built called ShowTheMath.org. This is a free resource that allows students to enter and solve algebraic equations using a nifty equation editor AND show their work step by step. The student has to do all of the work - the site will give them no help. Once they are done with the problem they can choose an appropriate graph. Several problems can be combined…See More
Alan Degener replied to Scott Habeeb's discussion Apps, Ideas, & Advice for Using Tablets (Android or iPad)"If you are looking to use those devices as a classroom response system try QuestionPress.com. Small fee, but worth it for the fact that you can run it live and for the large number of question types."
Alan Degener posted a discussionShowing Math Work on the Web
I noticed there are many web sites that will solve algebraic equations for you and show you the steps. But I wanted a site that makes the user do all of the work. Couldn't find one, so I built one. showthemath.org is a simple site with a powerful inline math editor that nicely formats the work that the user/student is doing. Right now I am just getting started, but I would like it to be a place where students can solve a problem, show…See More
Alan Degener replied to Susan Wells's discussion iPod Touch Schoolwide Implementation"Forgot to mention that you can set up a free trial account and give it a try."
Alan Degener replied to Susan Wells's discussion iPod Touch Schoolwide Implementation"Mark, I made one called QuickieQ - www.quickieq.com. Lots of features. Works well on the iPods, laptops, any web capable device. Cost is right - $21 annual for 35 responder limit."
Alan Degener replied to Renee Nicole Vinci's discussion New Technology"I've been using a web app called QuickieQ that works like a web-based classroom response system. Since my classroom is 1-1 it works really well. Alot cheaper than buying clickers and easier for the kids to type text. I've even assigned…"
Alan Degener replied to Susan Wells's discussion iPod Touch Schoolwide Implementation"Great. Email me at alan_degener@gci.net for information and I'll get you set up."
Alan Degener replied to Susan Wells's discussion iPod Touch Schoolwide Implementation"In addition to the apps people have already listed, I have been working on a web app that will allow you to use your Touches as clickers, just like the classroom response systems that are out there, only better. Since it is a web app it works with…"
