GeoGebra Workshop GCCTM Meeting Dr. Joanne Goodell Cleveland State University September 13, 2010
What is GeoGebra A free dynamic mathematics software for schools that joins geometry, algebra and calculus Two windows, one for graphics and the other for algebraic expressions form the interface Drawing pad used like Geometer’s Sketchpad, can be used without the algebra window Can create interactive Java applets from your drawings that can be run from any web site Book has great introductory materials Wiki has lots of free materials Could be used to supplement or replace GSP
GeoGebra Options Can run as independent Java applet from the computer you are using-this may not work in the lab without tech support setting it up. Web start runs the Java applet from within the browser installed on the computer you are using-will probably work without tech support, but you must have internet access.
