 * **FSCreations' [|ExamView Assessment Suite]** - Testing and assessment software ($139). A number of mathcast makers use dynamic ExamView questions and solutions to create copyright free standards-aligned math and science questions as the basis for their movies. Many of us are also now starting to share our question banks
 * **[|Ventura Educational Systems] math and science clip art CD collections** (about $50). These are huge collections of clip art that have been primarily created by Dr. Fred Ventura, a gifted artist and former math teacher/professor.
 * A **[|TI Virtual Calculator]** (TI 82, 83, 83+, etc) will allow you to show how to use this tool on screen. It's a great tool for classroom use as well and a great improvement over using an overhead projector, a special TI graphing calculator, and a fragile (and expensive) viewscreen.
 * **[|TI SmartView]** (TI-84) - like the TI Virtual calculator but with more features. About $135 US. 30 day free trial available to educators. The September 2006 issue of the NCTM's //Mathematics Teacher// had a great article/review of this product.
