Once you have computed the data you need, you can export it as a PDF, email or blog it, post it to social media sites and more. It can even generate QR codes! You can print a QR code on your homework sheet that the students can use with their smartphones later that night. I'm trying to decide if QR codes are anything other than marketing--they could be "the next big thing"--but that's another blog post.
What's a drawback? When I introduce this tool to my math teachers (again--I learned about it two years ago), they are going to say, "It tells them the answer! They will stop doing the work and just copy, rather than thinking." I asked the webinar leader this question and the answer was, "If you share the tool with the caveat that there is still a test coming and if they only copy, rather than using it as a tool to understand, they will not do well." That's a tough sell. But it is true, and another way that we could teach our students to take responsibility for their own learning.
There was a session on widgets that I had to miss because I ran out of time.
They have a section of their site for education where there are various presentation and faculty training tools I plan to use.
