For me as a science and mathematics teacher “Wolfram Alpha” is something that will help us and our students to build intuition. I use it all the time and I hope my students will do the same. I am amazed at how modern powerful tools are changing how we learn or hopefully how we teach… I am especially intrigued by the implications of computing power to our lives that Stephen Wolfram talks about. It is interesting how this technology allows us to ask and answer questions that would have been very difficult to ask before! Where will us bring us? Where will it bring our students? What questions will we be asking in the 21st century?
