Software/Apps
Software (on my computer - some free, some paid)
- eInstruction Workspace (comes with the Mobi, but I use it all the time instead of PowerPoint)
- Livescribe Desktop (free, but without the pen there isn’t much you can do)
- Animationish (not free, but the most fun art animation program I have ever seen!)
- Hyperstudio5 (not free, but worth the minimum price – much more creative than PPT!)
- Jing (it is free, but for $15/year you get longer videos and save to .mp4 format)
- Snagit (it can crop like Jing, but has more features for a small price)
- Camtasia (pay for it, but it creates fantatic videos for education)
- Flash (expensive, but well worth it if you want to make professional looking animations)
- Dreamweaver (I use for my college website and started it before Google was around!)
- Photoshop (need I say more? Lots of free stuff out there, but I purchased the CS4 suite)

HI Sue,
techBASIC is a multipurpose STEM App for the iPhone/iPad. Math functions can be manipulated to allow students to move them around and explore their properties.
Here’s a short video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Et7PXdTYMv8
If you contact me I can give you a promo code so you can try it out.
Our company, The Byte Works, Inc. wrote the scripting language for HyperStudio.
Best,

Hello,
I found your blog browsing for iPad resources on math.
I want to let you know about Dr. Geometry, a tablet interactive geometry application I wrote for my students.
