TeacherTube is a good place to host your mathcast once you are teaching and you can share it with your students using a wiki, blog or Moodle. The article recommends using mathcasts as an informal assessment tool as when the students do their own mathcasts it helps you understand their thought processes better.

The article recommends using graphics tablets such as InterWrite.

Some links: Mathcast Wiki – a mathcast wiki site with sample Scratch games for students and lessons in numerous topics eg. Algebra.

“Ask not what your wiki can do for you, but what you can do for your wiki”!!

This is a very clever, amusing form of education.
