Two years ago, I attended a lecture of Professor Masami Isoda about dbook, a flash-based software developed by CRICED at the University of Tsukuba in Japan used for creating interactive digital textbooks. The usual practice in dbook is taking a picture (or scanning) of book pages and embedding ready-made tools to construct an interactive worksheets.

The mathematics electronic whiteboard that I have posted here was an empty file of dbook. If you want to know more about dbook, and download the software, click here.

I will make a tutorial about dbook soon, so keep posted.

Free tools every math blogger should learn

September 22, 2010 GB High School Mathematics, Teaching Tools, Web 2.0 Technology

Although the list below is specialized for math bloggers, they can be used by bloggers of any field. I have used all the software below,

WordPress. WordPress is a free blogging site. Upgrade is available (for a fee) for larger storage and domain name customization. I chose WordPress to host Mathematics and Multimedia mainly because of its Latex support. As of this writing, as far as I know, two of its top competitors, Blogspot and Typepad, do not support Latex yet.

Blogger/Blogspot. Blogger is also a blogging website that is included in Google Applications. Once you have a Google Account, you already have a blogspot account, you just need to activate it. I use Blogger to embed GeoGebra applets since JavaScript embedding is not allowed in WordPress.com.
Google Docs. Google Docs can be used to store and share documents online. It has its own word processor, spreadsheet, and presentation software. It has currently released a new drawing software. You can use Google Docs to store your documents and link your blog to it.
