NEW Prezi is an amazing, free, zooming, non-linear presentation tool. Prezi allows creators to design a map containing elements including text, images, videos, PDFs, hyperlinks and Flash files. The resulting visual map allows users to explore the content by zooming in and out of elements to see greater detail.
NEW GeoGebra is free multi-platform "dynamic mathematics software for all levels of education that joins arithmetic, geometry, algebra and calculus. It offers multiple representations of objects in its graphics, algebra, and spreadsheet views that are all dynamically linked....GeoGebra allows you to directly enter and manipulate equations and coordinates. Thus you can easily plot functions, work with sliders to investigate parameters, find symbolic derivatives, and use powerful commands like Root or Sequence."
