It is supported by a Web database, MathSource, well over one hundred books, a growing collection of application extensions and courseware. There is an active electronic user group. The ALT Homepage builder is a forms based, interactive system allowing members to build their own ALT Homepage without any prior HTML or programming experience. Once built, pages can be accessed just like any other Web page, and can be edited or updated at any time. Members may use the system's search facilities to find information on other ALT Homepages and there is also an index of members.
Students now have hand-held technology on a par with much more expensive PC based software.
In this workshop participants will have the opportunity to review the range of hand-held devices which are available. They will be able to try their hand at using several of them, including the TI-92. They can discuss which students should have which devices. Also available will be the CBL data logger device, which allows all the range of hand-held devices to gather real world data on for example movement, light, temperature, pH, heartbeat and so on. This real data can then be analysed either with the hand-held machine or on a PC through the link.
