2 GeoGebra 2 Overview Introduction to GeoGebra User community Using GeoGebra in the classroom Hands-on Activities GeoGebra’s Web Export Open Source & GeoGebra Support bill.lombard@gmail.comhttp://mrlsmath.comwww.tttpress.com

3 GeoGebra 3 Why use Technology? “ Technology is essential in teaching and learning mathematics; it influences the mathematics that is taught and enhances students ’ learning. ” (NCTM Principles and Standards, 2000) bill.lombard@gmail.comhttp://mrlsmath.comwww.tttpress.com

4 GeoGebra 4 Technology or No Technology? “ What we have learned from all the media comparison research is that it ’ s not the medium, but rather the instructional methods that cause learning. When the instructional methods remain essentially the same, so does the learning, no matter how the instruction is delivered. ” (Clark & Mayer, e-Learning and the Science of Instruction, 2002) bill.lombard@gmail.comhttp://mrlsmath.comwww.tttpress.com

5 GeoGebra 5 What is GeoGebra? Dynamic Mathematics Software For Learning and Teaching in Schools Geometry, Algebra and Calculus Freely available from www.geogebra.org www.geogebra.org bill.lombard@gmail.comhttp://mrlsmath.comwww.tttpress.com
