Teaching Resources and Help
ExamView Pro
ExamView is the software that has saved my life (well, really, it has saved countless hours of time for me). I can wholeheartedly recommend it as a math teacher, and I suspect that it would be pretty good for other subjects. My first recommendation is to check with your textbook representative to see if you can get a copy with your teacher resource materials. Some textbook teacher editions come with software, electronic versions of the book, etc. If you can get the question banks for your book, those will help immensely.
I gave a take home final in Algebra to 19 students. After giving them all of the ground rules (work by yourself, use the book, no outside help, etc.), I let them know that they each had a different version of the final. I could not have done that without ExamView. It was a piece of cake. The key is to create dynamic questions in a bank. There are tools to create algorithms that will generate new numbers or equations for each test.
The built in equation editor is excellent, and I have completely abondoned the editor in Microsoft Word, which is cumbersome and expensive if you want the full version.
Here are several question banks that I have created. I am by no means an expert, and I am sure that these could use improvements. They have, however, made my life much easier. The learning curve is a bit steep, but if you front load your effort in learning how to make dynamic questions, you will save much time down the road.
Finally, the word of caution and disclaimer: if you choose to use any of these files, questions, or algorithms, you do so at your own risk. I cannot guarantee the accuracy of any of them. They look pretty good, but I have had an occasional student point out something interesting like the same question twice on a test or an unsolveable equation. It can be hard to account for every possibility when writing dynamic questions.
