Two new technologies for classrooms are discussed: a graphing calculator and Cool Math for Kids website. The graphing calculator allows students to complete homework, saves students and schools money, and makes grading easier for teachers. The Cool Math for Kids website provides educational games and puzzles to keep students engaged when bored, gives teachers lesson plan resources, and helps parents guide their child's learning at home. Both tools are presented as beneficial classroom resources.
