GeoGebra in the Mathematics classroom Teacher’s opinions GeoGebra in mathematics class might… Need time for the students to be familiar with GeoGebra Have the constraint of selecting math problems for class to be suitable for GeoGebra (→ we need a new curriculum for learning math using computer, GeoGebra) Be an attraction to the students from solving math problem to using GeoGebra Students feedback It was a very interesting experience.
Constitution of GeoGebra’s Communities on the Internet Environment in Korea Naver Vs. Google In Korea ? In 2003, Naver : 73% , Google : 1.3% Isolated from the world-wide environment A big intranet which has very good hardware Naver café (a community of Naver) Temporary solution Naver → GeoGebra forum, wiki
