You might find some lessons of interest in my website: <a href="http://realworldmath.org">RealWorldMath.org</a>. It has lessons and activities that use Google Earth. The content level is primarily for the middle grades but there are some interesting peripheral topics there, such as fractals and modern geometry. SketchUp has a lot of potential also, and I have few activities with that.

Great inputs from everyone!<br />
<br />
- Liked Geogebra application (thanks, Matt)<br />
- I have some exposure to Moodle - the basic setup etc, so, I can try that as well.<br />
- Found another - <a href="http://mathtech.ning.com">online group</a>, focused on this topic, and has some good inputs as well.<br />
- Discovered another <a href="http://illuminations.nctm.org">useful site</a>.<br />
<br />
With all of the above, I think I have sufficient information to get started. Thank you all for your inputs.

We use CPM math which has the students write learning logs on each new concept. Recently, we started posting the student responses to a class wiki. The students used to hate doing their learning logs, but now enjoy discussing their team's responses before posting. Unfortunately, the students are block at school from accessing "social" websites and must do their entries at home. We are trying to get the school board to see the light.

I have used moodle and <a href="http://manhattan.sourceforge.net">Manhattan Virtual Classroom</a>. Both are password protected environments, both are open source. But Moodle requires a database usually MySQL, and particullarly if your hardware is older or not top of the line Manhattan performs better.<br />
<br />
I like moodle, but I choose Manhattan to meet my classroom needs. I also use Wiki's and Blogs.<br />

Two of the classes I teach are chemistry and physics and, though a hardware suggestion, I must emphasis the need for a pen style input for the students to use.

Two of the classes I teach are chemistry and physics and, though a hardware suggestion, I must emphasis the need for a pen style input for the students to use. Math, chemistry and physics are subjects where you have notation that the keyboard has a hard time emulating and the mouse adds a layer of frustration to trying to write that will 'wig'out' most students under a time pressure. There are math editors out there that can be used, but as of yet they are clunky in my opinion and don't give you all the tools needed for such things as geometry and sketching out a problem to find a solution path. The ability to write freely while still in a digital domain lets the technology get out of the way to let the students concentrate on the task at hand. Thanks for your post.

Thanks for your post.<br />
<br />
Grades: 6 - 10<br />
Content: Maths, which would cover algebra, geometry, trigonometry.<br />
Teaching approach: Student centered.<br />
<br />
I hope this has the necessary information.<br />
<br />
