I have met several people in the past year (some only virtually) who have convinced me that learning GeoGebra would be a great addition to my tech tools for teaching mathematics. Since GeoGebra is FREE, it makes it an even better resource as a teacher and tech ed consultant, and also for student projects as well! Geometry is one of my favorite subjects to teach; in the past I used Geometer’s Sketchpad, but in the future I plan on using GeoGebra!
I believe WordPress is not allowing me to directly embed the <applet> Javascript code for my first GeoGebra applet, so I created a new set of webpages on my Tech4MathEd site where I will be posting all of the GeoGebra applets I create. I am just learning, so there is only 1 there now 🙂
To see my first interactive GeoGebra applet, which helps students understand graphing a line using the slope-intercept form of the line by interacting with the graph, go to Slope Intercept GeoGebra Applet.
I am really looking forward to using GeoGebra, not only to create interactive applets for my Algebra students, but also to help my Math For Elementary Teacher classes learn more about Geometry!

I am a big fan of GeoGebra and in fact, I have created more than 50 step by step GeoGebra tutorials in my blog (see link below).

You may want to check it out or recommend it to your readers.
By the way, Sue, our blogs are almost similar and I am looking for partner blogs (promotion stuff). If you are interested, please email me at mathandmultimedia@gmail.com

hey there,
can anyone tell me why can’t I run Geogebra java appletes in my browser. Have installed java runtime 1.6 update 5 & perfectly run Geogebra 4.1 but can’t run applets in any of my browser under win7 32bit

I am not sure, but will do some research for you!
