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 Original Workshop Page can contains material from the workshop.
Overview
GeoGebra is software for visualizing, demonstrating, and exploring mathematics. It is free, runs on a wide variety of platforms, is backed by an international community of users. I find it fairly easy to use.
GeoGebra continues to develop. It has developed both in the mathematical capabilities of the program, and in the ways that it can easily be used to learn and teach mathematics. The current version is Release 5.
In providing a guide to learning to use GeoGebra it is worthwhile to realize that it can be used in a number of different ways depending on the desire of the user. I would start from the easiest to use.
GeoGebra is a tool for:
- Finding resources made by others with no setup required; (Finding materials on www.geogebra.org/materials)
- Making a personal archive of material made by others for easy access; (Organizing materials into a GeoGebraBook)
- Creating activities to use for demonstrations from a computer; (Using Geogebra as a desktop application)
- Making activities that are accessible from a wide range of computing platforms, from desktop computers to tablets to smartphones; (Using materials of the web in a browser, or on versions of the application fro desktops to smartphones)
- For sharing material in a group, as with a learning management system. (Using GeoGebra Groups)
A series of activities to get started
