Hi Rob,

I work with the Math Forum ( http://forum.swarthmore.edu/ ) and would like
to invite you (if you haven't already) to visit some of our pages to help
seed further discussion of your inquiry into technology in the classroom.

Technology in Math Education offers descriptions and links (see,
especially, the link to Computer Math Resources on the WWW):

http://forum.swarthmore.edu/mathed/tech.mathed.html

Additionally, the K-12 Math Internet Projects Online may give you some
other ideas about what's happening at the high school level:

http://forum.swarthmore.edu/teachers/k12.projects.html

I'd also like to highlight a document our director prepared for a regional
Mathematical Association of America conference:

http://forum.swarthmore.edu/articles/epadel/index.html

What kind of technology do you have available to you and your high school
students? What's the state's policy towards/activity on funding
specifically for technology in public schools?
