I was quite amazed with the types of use GeoGebra has. Linda's blog was quite fascinating; she is quite tech-savvy and I see her having no issues in using technology in her future classroom. She went above and beyond the expectation of a blog, and I learned a lot more about GeoGebra, then my own research. From my practice with GeoGebra, I had a lot of trouble with it at first. And at the time, I didn't think about the way to make using GeoGebra easier for the audience of my blog: teachers. So her incorporation of TeamViewer, where it will allow teachers to "remotely control any computer over the internet by using any platform". For instance, we can control GeoGebra without having to stand in front of the computer, making teaching/lecturing easier.
I was impressed with Trenton's research in WolframAlpha. I originally only used WolframAlpha as a quick answer/calculator, so I was hesitant to see how WolframAlpha can be used in a math class. However Trenton tells us that WolframAlpha can be more than just a calculator; it can be used for teachers to expose their students to the different techniques of solving a problem. With the booming technology age we have, I love that WolframAlpha can be used through cell-phones, tablets, and laptops since most young generation own or have access to these technologies. Trenton's blog is satisfactory, but I think he can incorporate more features such as a screencast lesson using WolframAlpha.
