WolframAlpha (John)

YouTube in PreCalculus (John)

Students made video presentations of 3rd Quarter

Challenge Problems

Good point: No class time given up for presentations,

can look at them at any time

Bad point: Some presentations were short on content

and long on multi-media fluff or students simply read

their paper.

WolframAlpha in PreCalc (John)

Students used website to check homework when

textbook did not supply answers.

Students used website to help solve Challenge

Problems

Unfortunately, students often missed the point of

problems. The process was more important than just

getting an answer.
