The Modules

​​0. Introduction ( 15 min )
Participants are welcomed to the Taster and meet the presenter and facilitators. The Taster is explained - including the fact that some pages - only applicable to the Full Course - have been included to give participants a better sense of the Full Course experience. Navigation tips are included as well as important GeoGebra information and accreditation details (for NSW, Aust. teachers). Finally, participants introduce themselves via an introductory post.  

1. Getting started with GeoGebra (2 hrs)
Module One deals with basic GeoGebra skills development. Basic skills are taught in context. A working GeoGebra file is demonstrated via a detailed video. Participants manipulate the file on their computer. Participants are then guided through the steps and re-build the file. This process is repeated for approximately ten files. At the conclusion of building this first series of files, participants have learnt a significant number of foundational skills with GeoGebra including: dealing with windows and menus, accessing the GeoGebra tools, adjusting properties of objects, using the measure tools, writing and fixing text, creating dynamic text with LaTex formatting, using the construction protocol, creating hide-show checkboxes, and creating sliders.

2. Further skill development  (2 hrs)
Module Two builds upon the foundational skills gained in Module One and uses the same learning model. Files covered include reflected and rotated polygons, locus of a parabola, tangent to function, integration, use of sliders. Importantly, creative examples of dynamic text within GeoGebra files is demonstrated.

3. Taster Completion (15 min)
The Taster completion includes a short survey, some additional information and instructions for those wanting to proceed to the Full Course to complete the remaining six content modules.

Exceptional GeoGebra files created by participants of the full course.

​
​A requirement of the (full) course is for participants to create and share some GeoGebra files of their own. In order to visually display a selection of these files, gifs of some files have been created. Click the below to gain an idea of the sorts of files that participants create - they are worth checking out. The original GeoGebra file at right was created by Pamela McGillivray​. 

Testimonials From The Full Course

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, these were much appreciated. Thanks, heaps!
