I am a former teacher/librarian at KCI and I will post items that deal with educational apps or items that teachers or students might use in the classroom.

The oPhysics website is a collection of interactive physics simulations created by Tom Walsh. Most of the animated illustrations and all of the interactive simulations on this site were created using the wonderful GeoGebra software. To see the website click here.
This is a free math website that allows you to visualize geometry, graphing, tables and much more.
According to Education World, "This tool is perfect for classrooms with Smartboards where the website can be projected, making it easier for teachers to have students follow along with the lesson. GeoGebra also has a large compilation of 263,067 free and interactive materials that can be used in the classroom. It’s a pretty intense app and will require tech knowledge, as well as the obvious math skills being addressed in the app. Usability is better on the web version and overall usability is in the middle when it comes to difficulty. The app is clean and allows you to complete many functions. It’s possible that this app could also make a graphing calculator unnecessary in the classroom."

Speaking of Algebra, I was on Wikispaces Blog and noticed this online tool that allows students and teachers to help visualize mathematical ideas. You can read the post from Wikispace Blog by clicking here or just go to the Geogebra website by clicking here.
