Location: Southside		At southside I have a notebook computer lab that I can easily use in my classroom. I really want some math software that allows graphing on the computer because I don't have graphing calculators. However, I don't have any experience with math computer programs. So any recomendations or input on what works and what does not would be great. I only teach algebra 1 and basic geometry.

Check with Natalee. We all got it last year as part of MILC. Maybe there is an unused copy somewhere?

Location: Henry Clay		One nice thing about the on-line versions...students who don't have graphing calculators to take home can use them. These are just java applets that you can put on your web site, or just direct students to a site that has them (like mine).
