MATH TOOLS NEWSLETTER - JULY 3, 2004 - No. 16
We're excited to give you a sneak preview of the many
improvements due over the course of this month.
BROWSE: The current right sidebar will be replaced by a
selection of pull-down menus at the top of each page.
Select from a list of courses, resource types, and
technology types before clicking the "Go" button. From the
resulting list, mouse over an item to expand and highlight
it in yellow. Click on the resource's name to immediately
go use it, or follow the "More: ..." link to see the
resource's catalog page with description, associated
resources, etc.
SUBSCRIBE/SAVE: Every page will have two new links after you
log in: "Subscribe" and "Save This." Click "Subscribe" to
receive email whenever that resource or page is updated.
Click "Save This" to add the resource to a list on your
My MathTools page. [See below.]
RATINGS: As a registered user, you will be able to rate any
resource just by clicking on one or more of the stars on its
catalog page. Once you click on the link "Submit Rating,"
feel free to write a short comment. If you change your
opinion, revise the stars selected and click "Change Rating."
REVIEWS: As a registered user, you can write a review--a more
detailed assessment than a ratings comment--based on your
experiences with the item.
MATH TOPICS: Previously named "Site Map," the link
"Math Topics" in the left sidebar leads to a list of all
Math Tools courses. Click a course to display its subtopics.
MY MATHTOOLS PROFILE: Manage your profile--as well as your
new subscriptions, saved items, contributions such as your
reviews and discussion posts, and other users' feedback about
resources.
Thanks to all of you who have expressed interest in
participating in our Math and Technology Tool Fest! We're now
welcoming applications for online participation for the week
of August 2-6. Please complete the Tool Fest Questionnaire:
