CMC-S (Palm Springs) and CMC-N (Asilomar) GeoGebra Updates

My session on GeoGebra at the CMC-S Palm Springs conference was well attended. The room seated 120, and CMC staff had to turn away at the door many folks who wanted to see this great open-source software. I was pleased to be able to share a little of the story behind GeoGebra, its creator Markus Hohenwarter, and show the audience some of the spectacular things that teachers can do “with the greatest of ease.” Many audience members said they were going right home to download GeoGebra. Two weeks later I was asked to repeat some of what I had done at workshops for the Corona-Norco USD; response from these teachers was tremendous as well. Some of these teachers were downloading GeoGebra and creating some neat things during my presentation! I’ll be sharing this wonderful software again twice next week at the CMC-N (Asilomar) and the Technology Conference hosted by the California League of Middle Schools/High Schools & Computer Using Educators at Monterey, CA. The title of the sessions are:

VISUALIZE ALGEBRA & GEOMETRY CONCEPTS WITH GREATEST OF EASE

I’ll also be repeating my session on STAR preparation:

STAR TESTING: PREPARE STRESS-FREE STUDENTS & TEACHERS EASILY

Focus your curriculum while preparing students to perform well on the STAR by incorporating simple, easy-to-use techniques. Free, ready-to-use resources for students at, below, and above grade level.

Asilomar is always a great conference in a spectacular setting on the California coast.
