Wolfram Education Portal

 

Wolfram has long been a trusted name in education—as the makers of Mathematica, Wolfram|Alpha, and the Wolfram Demonstrations Project.

They have created some of the most dynamic teaching and learning tools available. Now they have organised the best of all of their technologies to you here in the Wolfram Education Portal, organized by course.

In the portal you'll find a dynamic textbook, lesson plans, widgets, interactive Demonstrations, and more built by Wolfram education experts. You can take a look at the types of materials they offer below, but to get full access to all materials, you need to sign up for a free account.

How can you use this in the classroom?

I think teachers will get the most out of the lesson plan section as it covers a great deal of maths, science areas in great detail and has loads of of activities that will engage kids.

The other area which is of great benefit to teachers is the demonstration tools.  These interactive tools help students understand concepts by working hands on and then give you the confidence to use Wolfram's more advanced features with confidence.

Wolfram Alpha Launches

This week we see the launch of a real alternative to Google. I won't call it a search engine as it really doesnt do it any justice but WolframAlpha.com is a genuine place to find facts in a hurry and really should be added to your favourites as a genuinely innovative information tool. Think of it as Google with a scientific calcualtor on steroids.Read More
