Teaching Math and Music with Technology

Software (on my computer  – some free, some paid) – updated 2020

• eInstruction Workspace (comes with the Mobi, but I use it all the time instead of PowerPoint) – I still use this when I want to handwrite out math with some great tools.
• Livescribe Desktop (free, but without the pen there isn’t much you can do) – I no longer use this since Livescribe stopped supporting eduation.
• 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!) – I use this when creating tutorials where I need to move around objects.  Exports to HTML5
• Jing (it is free)
• Snagit (it can crop like Jing, but has more features and can record for a small price) – I use this every day; definitely worth it
• Camtasia (costs $$, but it creates fantastic videos for education) – I still use this regularly to create professional videos
• Flash (expensive, but well worth it if you want to make professional looking animations) – now Adobe Animate
• Dreamweaver (I use for my college website and started it before Google was around!) –  I use WordPress now for most of my websites
• Photoshop (need I say more?  Lots of free stuff out there, but I purchased the Adobe CC suite) – I use this and many other apps in the Adobe Creative Suite still today

Online Software (Free or you can get a paid account)

• Google (email and apps) – I still love my gmail
• Evernote (amazing free notebook!  can view on android, iPad, and both my Windows and Apple computers!)  can even store Livescribe pencasts there now!
• Dropbox (incredible FREE online storage where you can get to your files from android, iPad/iPhone and any computer!)
• Prezi (great free online presentation tool!)
• Glogster (Education version – free)
• MindMeister (I use paid version for more mindmaps)
• WordPress (I have my students create a blog to share)
• Blogger
• WolframAlpha
