Workshop Overview
People
Wimba Classroom - direct link
GeoGebra - Resources and notes for getting started
- Installation and set up
- Follow the instructions to download and install GeoGebra
- Computer Requirements and Wimba access
- Download and install SeaMonkey (SeaMonkey is a free, open source, cross platform, What You See Is What You Get, web page editor. If you already have other software you use for web page editing, you will not need this.)
- Adding to the wiki - There are several ways to add GeoGebra applets to the wiki. Instructions are given in order of difficulty.
- Adding a GeoGebra Applet in an html page The easiest way to add to the wiki is to use the option where the applet is contained in one page and the jar is found on a central server.
- Simplified Adding a GeoGebra Applet to a wiki page A second method puts the applet into a wiki page. You can then use the wiki structure to edit the page and add material around it.
- Adding JavaScript to web page One of the nice features of GeoGebra is that it is JavaScript aware. That means we can add JavaScript to a web page and have it interact with the GeoGebra applet. (With release 4, you will be able to add the JavaScript directly into the GeoGebra applet.
- Adding JavaScript to a wiki page Wiki's generally do not allow JavaScript. This wiki does. Here are instructions on how to add it to a wiki page.
- Transferring html files with the wiki
- Adding a web page with html and Javascript to the wiki site.
- Web Resources
- GeoGebra_Web_Resources
- The GeoGebra Forum
- The GeoGebra Wiki - (a collection of educational material)
- The main GeoGebra site
- Locally produced handouts
- A guide to the tool menus, release 3.2
- A guide to the tool menus, release 4.0
- A guide to the GeoGebra menus, release 3.2
- A guide to the GeoGebra menus, release 4.0
- A list of the commands in release 3.2
- Sorted New Commands in 3.2
- An example of creating a geometric activity
- Turning a geometric activity into an applet
- An example of creating an algebraic activity
- Downloading applets and html pages
- An example of creating a custom tool - (The first link is to a word doc. You can also see it as a PDF - CreatingCustomTools.pdf )
- Exporting an image (or blank graph paper) for use in another document
- Sharing your computer desktop in Wimba (Word document), or as a pdf file
- The zipped collection of files used for the MAA minicourse at Mathfest. The files are also available as a single zipped file. (Caution - This file is about 60 meg.) -GeoGebraWorkshop2010.zip

There are several other free HTML editors in addition to SeaMonkey, a few of these include Amaya (http://www.w3.org/Amaya/), eXe (http://exelearning.org/wiki), and the HTML kit (http://www.htmlkit.com/). I only mention these as alternate choices depending on personal preference. Dreamweaver (http://www.adobe.com/products/dreamweaver/) is a professional level program. I have used the several of these including simple text editors such as NotePad and NoteTab. I do not recommend a word processor, especially Word (although I have not tried 2007 or later, this program can be a problem.)

The Geogebra help: Not very helpful. But on the www.geogebra.org web site I found an on-line book on Geogebra which looks very helpful. I'm working though a bit of it. Check it out at http://www.geogebra.org/book/intro-en.pdf.

In part I take back my condemnation of the Geogebra help. The most helpful part of the Geogebra help looks like the command indexes at http://www.geogebra.org/help/docuen/index.html.
Click on "geometric input" and "construction tools" or on "algebraic input" and "commands".
You can see exactly what sequence of steps you need to make a construction tool work and exactly what arguments you need to give an algebraic command to make it work.

That is one of the complaints about the Help materials in GG. It is very cryptic. There are several people that would like to work on this, but it will require collaboration. I am not sure of any progress though. Check out the GeoGebra Forum at www.geogebra.org.

Has anyone done a vertical line test applet? I am trying to do one, but I am having some problems when testing relations. The test I am doing works well for functions however.
Also, I am going to try the horizontal line test as well.
