Free Screencast From Your Browser!
Screencast-O-Matic Amazing and free! This ought to make a lot of people happy and I like the social aspect of free hosting/sharing of screencast. The whole deal is a pretty neat trick using Java.

Whirligig MyMap Evolution Continues
So I’ve added a lot more to the Whirligig map since last time. It turned out to be an awesome choice for this project. Talk about a project that requires a close reading! I spent more time with this short book than I care to admit to. Almost everything in the Whirligig was accurate. It’s […]

Flags and Pie Charts
This might be the visual link some students need to start seeing how pie charts reflect real data and it’s not a bad way to get some exposure to the flags of other nations. Basically, the pie chart is shown with the proportional slices for the colors of the flag. You click on the pie […]
Open Cola for Science Experiments
