Create a SmartGraphs Activity and Win an iPod® Nano
Jessica Ulcickas, the math department chair at Mount Alvernia High School in Newton, Massachusetts, is the winner of our SmartGraphs contest. Jessica took the initiative to design her own SmartGraphs activity, learn to use the authoring system, and create the new web-based activity (which runs directly in a browser, without any downloads or installations). Jessica’s creativity lead her to use some new approaches, including showing two graph panes on a page, one above the other.
