Here is where you'll find the course content for Spring, 2009. Assignments are here. Syllabus is here. 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!

"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."

Mathematics and Multimedia GeoGebra Step-by-Step Tutorial SeriesThe objective of the GeoGebra Step-by-Step Tutorial Series is not only to teach the readers how to use the software, but also to suggest how to use GeoGebra in teaching and learning mathematics. Most of the tutorials are (or will be) linked to related articles containing explanations and proofs about the mathematics discussed in the tutorials.

GeoGebraWiki is a free pool of teaching materials for the dynamic mathematics software GeoGebra. Everyone can contribute and upload materials! All contents of this pool may be used free of charge.

Geometry explorer, worth downloading. Geared towards geometry constructions more so than Geogebra.

Great mathematics blog from a young Filipino mathematician, Guillermo Bautista Jr. He does a very nice job of making the mathematics accessible through digital media. He discusses a very wide variety of topics. 

Interesting blog from a fellow Classroom 2.0 member. He is interested in math, technology, and is working on his masters in technology integration. A worthy read if you are looking for someone to stretch your thinking.
