Online Geogebra training
Posted by David Wees on Mar 19, 2009
Update: Thinking about trying to set this up again if there is sufficient interest.
Hi folks,
I'm planning on doing an online training session, we'll see if I get anyone to sign up! The first 20 people to post a comment here will be registered in this free training session in Geogebra. This limit of 20 people is only because http://dimdim.com restricts the free online sessions to 20 people. I'm not, by any means, an expert in the program, but I am happy to share what I have learned in 2 years of using the program.
- Post a comment to this post indicating what time works best for you. You need to fill in your email field, which is hidden from everyone except me, the owner of this blog. I'll use your email address to send you the Dimdim meeting invitation, so it is important that you include it.
Go tohttp://dimdim.comand sign up for an account. You will of course need to use the same email address as step 1. You should try it out first to check to make sure there are no problems ahead of time. I'll of course be testing this myself.Update: We might use Mikogo instead, it seems easier to use.- Oh and I suppose I should mention that you really want Geogebra installed. You can get it from http://geogebra.org and happily, it is free.
- I'll also be putting up some resources on the blog, linked to this post, once I get a chance to organize them. You should make sure to come back here and download those resources.
Of course this training session is dependent on my internet connection remaining up. I guess if there are problems, we can always reschedule.
Update:
Sign up here, form will close in a week.

Hi Paul, It's looking like I
Hi Paul,
It's looking like I have the Elluminate room scheduled for 8am my time, GMT +7 which is 7pm Eastern standard time, and 10pm Pacific standard time. I've also talked to my principal, and he'd like this time so that people at our school can join the session too.

I would love to attend, but
This week is our Spring Break, next week at the time you are starting, I will be teaching a class. Maybe you can record the session for some of use to view at a later date. (CDT 8 am for you is 10 am for me)
I have seen some of your work and I like what I have seen. You are welcome to use somethings or refer to my site. Most is geared for middle school to early college, mostly graphing and algebra. It still needs work, but my students like learning with it.

Condolences
I wish to express my sorrow toward your loss. This can be a trying time. I hope that your trip is uneventful and that you and your family are doing well despite the current turmoil.
May the Lord be with you and yours.

PS: I just realized that my time zone follows yours by 12 to 13 hours. I am not used to using UTC codes, even though my daughter is in The Netherlands.
I'm interested in
I'm interested in this project, if you'll do something in the future.

Thoughts are with you - Maybe another time
Really sorry to hear of your loss Dave.
Maybe some other time.

Dave, I am very sorry to hear about your loss. I am lucky enough to still have both parents and can only imagine the difficulty.
I do however have a proposal for you. I am an avid Geogebra user, quasi-developer (not very good at it, but like to play and think through some issues). I would be open to hosting your online training through my work Webex Classroom. You could still offer the training to the first thirty (our classroom will handle 33 including you and me) as long as you allowed me to invite teachers in our content literacy projects. (http://contentliteracy.ning.com) I don't think you would get many from our site, as most of the teachers that I work with haven't come across it yet.
Like I said, I am an avid user with students, a wanna be developer, and I work coaching teachers to make their classrooms more inquiry based, experiential places. We host online conversations at our Ning for teachers interested in learning and this would be a perfect fit.
If you are interested let me know. I'm the administrator for our Webex classroom so I know I can get permission. I look forward to hearing from you.
This sounds like a great
This sounds like a great idea. I'm going to be postponing this training until my IB classes end, which is in May. May 8th I think is the day they take their exams, so that will be the last day I have them, which means I lose 2 classes, giving me lots of free time to run a session like this.
My plan is to run the session aimed at novices/intermediate level users, and show everything I know how to do. It may be you might find this session less than useful, but we could also use it as an idea sharing session.
Dave
