The GeoGebra file featured in the gif above was created by past participant Graeme Harris
A quality, 4-month, online, guided learning journey
The course is relevant to teachers globally; accredited in NSW.
GeoGebra is free mathematics software, dynamically connecting concepts across numerous topics, 7-12. This online course enables high school mathematics teachers to become proficient in the use of (computer-based) GeoGebra and to experience its transformative power. Participants become more able to engage their students and more effective at enabling them to understand the mathematics presented. The course also provides examples of how GeoGebra can be used to create formative assessment opportunities and to help teachers provide feedback to students.

An easy path to proficiency
Becoming proficient with the use of GeoGebra is usually a challenging task, especially when learning via internet searches and/or face-to-face workshops.
However, this online course provides an efficient, easy and enjoyable pathway due to the course being a fully facilitated, 15-hours-over-16-weeks, guided learning journey. Participants have 24/7 access to this self-paced, eLearning experience.
In a nutshell ...
Over 50 quality, GeoGebra files are demonstrated via expert videos. Participants replicate these files, create files specifically for their own students, share them with course colleagues, implement GeoGebra with their students and report back on their implementation experiences. Implementations occur from as early as topic two of the eight-topic course.

Testimonials
The course was awesome! Geogebra is an amazing teaching and learning tool. Easy to follow video tutorials. It was great to share resources and get feedback on your own activities. I am definitely inspired to use Geogebra more often in the classroom. I loved the extremely user friendly Open Learning site used for the course and the speedy replies you gave me Richard were much appreciated. Thanks heaps!
