Web-Enhanced Instruction with GeoGebra

This wiki was used for an online workshop sponsored through the MAA Professional Enhancement Program. Primary funding provided by the Division of Undergraduate Education at the National Science Foundation (DUE-0817071).

It has been built upon as a  repository of instructional material for GeoGebra.

The workshop ran July 11-15, 2011 with daily sessions 10:00-11:30 and 2:30-4:00, Central time.

GeoGebra - Resources and notes for getting started

1. Installation and set up
1. Follow the instructions to download and install GeoGebra
2. Introductory activities and resources
3. Web resources
1. The main GeoGebra site - The main site with links to other useful pages
2. The GeoGebra Forum - forum for GeoGebra users.  My experience is that questions are generally answered within a day.  Searching old threads provides lots of information.
3. The GeoGebra Wiki - a free collection of educational material using GeoGebra
4. Other Collections of GeoGebra resources on the Web
5. Resources particular to Release 4.0
1. Release Notes for 4.0 - This gives a list of the changes since version 3.2
2. The Release 4.0 Manual - Done as a Wiki
4. Adding to the wiki - There are several ways to add GeoGebra applets to the wiki.  Instructions are given in order of difficulty.
1. Adding an html page that includes a ggbBase64 tag.
2. Working without the web, running with jar files.
3. Adding an html page that has separate jar files.
4. Adding an applet into a wiki page.  You can then use the wiki structure to edit the page and add material around it.
5. Adding JavaScript to an html page that includes an applet. - One of the nice features of GeoGebra is that it is JavaScript aware.  That means we can add JavaScript to a web page and have it interact with the GeoGebra applet.  (With release 4, you will be able to add the JavaScript directly into the GeoGebra applet.) 

Technical Handouts and Activity Pages

1. Activity handouts
1. An example of creating a geometric activity with release 4.0
2. Turning a GeoGebra activity into an Applet
1. Turning a Geometric activity into an Applet with release 4.0. This creates a Java applet and a web page.
