"In this article we introduce the free educational mathematics software GeoGebra. This open source tool extends concepts of dynamic geometry to the fields of algebra and calculus. You can use GeoGebra both as a teaching tool and to create interactive web pages for students from middle school up to college level. Specifically designed for educational purposes, GeoGebra can help you to foster experimental, problem-oriented and discovery learning of mathematics. We will illustrate the basic ideas of the software and some of its versatile possibilities by discussing several interactive examples."
"Stacey Roshan is using an approach dubbed by her students as the "backwards classroom."... The students watch pre-recorded lectures the night before the class, when homework problems are traditionally done, then spend the time in class getting answers to questions, working on additional problems with partners, and getting one-on-one assistance from the teacher. No more lectures in class."

GEOGEBRA:
Throughout the notes, you will find many GeoGebra applets. These are interactive Java applets. To activate them, just click on them, and wait for the applet to load. If you're using Internet Explorer, you may have to click on the "Allow ActiveX control" warning bar at the top of your browser, for the applet to load. I encourage you to download GeoGebra yourself, or use the "Web Start" option, over at http://www.geogebra.org . It's very easy to use, and a lot of fun!
