There is a coin flipper on random.org that you can use during a probability lesson.

Students can check their work with wolfram alpha. If they complete a homework assignment early they could go to the computer and check their answers. If they didn't do a problem correctly they can see where they went wrong.

Appropriate graphs to display this data:
- line chart
- clustered column chart
- clustered bar chart
- scatter with straight lines and markers chart

At the end of a unit you could have your students make a word cloud of all the vocabulary terms we learned throughout the unit.

LESSON
The lesson I explored was "Hopping on the number line". Students learn how to find sums using the number line model. The grade level that it is intended for is Pre-K - 5. There are various ways to make this lesson more challenging. For example, creating word problems.

INTERACTIVE
The interactive I explored is "Okta's Rescue".  The mathematics in this activity is counting.
How to Play: How to Play

Select Oktas to save them. You can either draw a curve around them or click them individually. Once you think you've collected the right number, click the chute to send them to a new ocean. Keep collecting as many as you can until the timer runs out.

Count your Oktas and move the slider to that number on the number line. To help you count, Oktas are grouped into 10s. You can also draw rectangles around them. If you get your answer wrong, you will be given 2 choices:

Count Alone to try again without help.

Help Me Count to highlight the correct answer when you move your slider to it.

Once you have the right answer, click OK to compare your score to your previous high score. Then, click Play Again to start a new game.

GeoGebra is an open-source mathematics software designed for math classrooms in secondary schools, but anyone who uses geometry, algebra, or calculus should check it out. It combines a flexible, easy-to-use geometry tool with direct input of equations and coordinates. You can do constructions with points, vectors, segments, lines, conic sections as well as functions and change them dynamically afterwards. How can this application be used in the classroom?
- to create and test hypothesis
-to make constructions
- to show slope of a line
- to graph equations
- to prove similar polygons
- to solve simple or complex equations

I think all of the above technologies enhance teaching. For example, random.org enhances teaching because it makes a lesson run smoother. If you are rolling dice there is no arguing about the game being fair. Wolfram|Alpha can help teachers of all grade levels reinforce important concepts and expose students to researching and learning through the use of technology. The NCTM Illuminations website is a great tool to use to modify your lessons. It also provides many ways to make your lessons fun.

I think all of the above technologies enhance learning. Any technology is most likely going to keep the students engaged in the learning process. Making a wordle of vocabulary that the students remember is way more fun than just writing it down or having a classroom discussion about it. Using excel to create graphs teaches students how to correctly construct a graph. There is not as much room for error. GeoGebra creates an interactive learning environment where the students can explore, explain and model mathematical concepts.

One concern I have is that you have to make sure the students can complete the assignment in class. Not all students have access to technology at home. Also, I hope that I can keep up with the technology as years go by.

Podcasts make great learning tools for students especially when it comes time for studying. You can easily create and post podcasts for students who want to review or were absent so every student has the opportunity to soak it all in.
Having students post their work in blogs is a great way to allow student to showcase all their hard work. Students can help each other out by posting comments and suggestions for each other. You are likely to get higher quality work as well because everyone can see it

Dice Toss
I do not think Geogebra would be the best option to use during this lesson. Random.org would be a good option. If the class had chromebooks or ipads you could use the dice roller so that there are issues with dice. The students could also make a graph on excel instead of making one on the board. This might take more time to explain how to make a graph on excel, but it is a great tool the students can use in the future to organize their data.
