Moderator (Maria Droujkova): at the bottom, deb - do you get a bit of lag?

---------------------
Deb Boatwright: thank you

---------------------
LFS: I live in FYR Macedonia (30 years), but am US by birth (20 years) and teach
mathematics and am big user of ggb.

---------------------
LFS: Q: is anybody talking?

---------------------
Moderator (Maria Droujkova): can you hear Michael just now?

---------------------
Moderator (Maria Droujkova): he's talking

---------------------
LFS: yes now

---------------------
Moderator (Maria Droujkova): this instant live dynamic links between

---------------------
Moderator (Maria Droujkova): thank you

---------------------
cea: hello everybody!

---------------------
Moderator (Maria Droujkova): hi cea

---------------------
tal: where can we find high-school ggb based lessons ?

---------------------
Deb Boatwright: i can not hear

---------------------
LFS: michael - talk really slowly

---------------------
Moderator (Maria Droujkova): Is the wiki sorted by level, as tal asked?

---------------------
LFS: scroll down

---------------------
Moderator (Markus Hohenwarter): Yes, the wiki is organized by levels (middle
school, high school, university, different subjects)

---------------------
LFS: wiki is "ok" sorted - that is being worked on

---------------------
Deb Boatwright: I teach K-5 and I would love to see elementary lessons

---------------------
tal: 10x Maria

---------------------
JohnFaig: what is the wiki URL?

---------------------
LFS: http://geogebra.org/wiki

---------------------
Moderator (Maria Droujkova): Are you working/talking with Scratch people about
this?

---------------------
LFS: current problem with wiki is that you cannot run ggb applets on the wiki too
- this is what he means about scratch

---------------------
Moderator (Maria Droujkova): How do applets embed, in general? Do they?

---------------------
tal: We have it in Hebrew !! GREAT !

---------------------
Moderator (Markus Hohenwarter): yes

---------------------
Moderator (Michael Borcherds): To embed a ggb file in HTML as applet:

---------------------
Moderator (Michael Borcherds): <applet name="ggbApplet"
code="geogebra.GeoGebraApplet"
archive="http://www.geogebra.org/webstart/geogebra.jar" height="400" width="616">
<param name="filename" value="quadratictest.ggb">
</applet>

---------------------
Moderator (Maria Droujkova): Really all over the world

---------------------
Deb Boatwright: How would we help?

---------------------
Deb Boatwright: Ithaca at cornell or ithaca colllege

---------------------
Moderator (Markus Hohenwarter): http://sites.google.com/site/geogebrana2010/

---------------------
LFS: ic

---------------------
Moderator (Maria Droujkova): Where are these people communicating? The forum?

---------------------
LFS: also we are looking to involve classroom teachers

---------------------
Moderator (Markus Hohenwarter): geogebra.na.ic.2010@gmail.com

---------------------
Moderator (Markus Hohenwarter): www.geogebra.org/forum

---------------------
LFS: if you contact, please mention that you want to particpate in - say the
scientific committee

---------------------
Deb Boatwright: Dynamic Mathematics is new to me

---------------------
LFS: on the geogebrana2010 website there is a form for "expression of interest"
---------------------
Moderator (Maria Droujkova): Thank you, LFS!

---------------------
Moderator (Markus Hohenwarter): markus@geogebra.org

---------------------
Deb Boatwright: I would be interested in how a newbie gets started?

---------------------
LFS: You can now embed a geogebra applet on pbworks.com wiki - which offers free
sites to teachers. e.g.http://math247.pbworks.com/Simulator%3A-Car-Race-Sim1.

---------------------
LFS: yes

---------------------
Deb Boatwright: ?

---------------------
Susan: yes

---------------------
Erin: yes

---------------------
Deb Boatwright: yes

---------------------
virginia alberti: yes

---------------------
Moderator (Maria Droujkova): we can't hear you - a bit of lag

---------------------
Susan: like googleearth

---------------------
Deb Boatwright: maria can you email him the link to reconnect?

---------------------
Moderator (Michael Borcherds): www.geogebra.org/webstart/

---------------------
Deb Boatwright: no

---------------------
Deb Boatwright: but is it like a graphing calculator screen?

---------------------
Moderator (Maria Droujkova): he got the link, Deb - it will probably take a second
to reload

---------------------
Moderator (Maria Droujkova): well, a minute

---------------------
Moderator (Michael Borcherds): www.geogebra.org/forum/
---------------------
LFS: there are tutorials

---------------------
LFS: with audio visual explanations

---------------------
Susan: i feel like you have to know some programming

---------------------
Susan: i got a ittle frustrated

---------------------
Deb Boatwright: do you know of newbie info for geogebra

---------------------
LFS: you might try looking at: http://math247.pbworks.com/4th+Grade+Mathcasts+-
+Teaching+with+GeoGebra

---------------------
Deb Boatwright: would you do a sample plotting of a line

---------------------
LFS: two points and a line

---------------------
Deb Boatwright: on a graph

---------------------
Deb Boatwright: How about graph the interception of a line

---------------------
LFS: the number next to poly1 is the area

---------------------
Deb Boatwright: got it

---------------------
Deb Boatwright: graphing calculator

---------------------
Susan: can you do a trig grid with pi symbols

---------------------
Susan: like pi/2

---------------------
Susan: nice

---------------------
Susan: cool

---------------------
Moderator (Maria Droujkova): very cool

---------------------
mathfaery (Elizabeth): very cool
---------------------
LFS: graph sine

---------------------
Deb Boatwright: great to use on a smartboard

---------------------
Susan: can you export as a .swf file?

---------------------
CalArmstrong: You could record it using Jing

---------------------
Deb Boatwright: Put you could use jing to make a moving screen shot

---------------------
LFS: yes - Jing works great for this

---------------------
Susan: yeah but then it is not interactive in jing right?

---------------------
Moderator (Maria Droujkova): Jing records videos of screens, right?

---------------------
Deb Boatwright: you all owe me a coke!

---------------------
Deb Boatwright: yes Maria

---------------------
Moderator (Maria Droujkova): why deb?

---------------------
LFS: michael can anybody run a session like this with interactive GGGB

---------------------
Susan: I really like how good it works in a webpage

---------------------
Susan: much better than sketchpad.

---------------------
Deb Boatwright: Yes

---------------------
CalArmstrong: it'd be nice to get it on iPhone/Touch

---------------------
Susan: it's dyanmic

---------------------
Susan: dynamic on the webpage

---------------------
CalArmstrong: let me get my chequebook
---------------------
LFS: can we interact with ggb?

---------------------
LFS: in this app

---------------------
Deb Boatwright: okay

---------------------
Susan: i really like the stuff that Daniel Mentard does

---------------------
Susan: are there other websites like that?

---------------------
LFS: thank you maria

---------------------
Susan: you should be able to app share

---------------------
LFS: REALLY

---------------------
Susan: all you need to do is right click on a name and give permission

---------------------
Moderator (Michael Borcherds): There are some people working on GeoGebra applets
that can be used by several people at once

---------------------
LFS: where do i look for info on this

---------------------
Deb Boatwright: Algebra for all... this is a nice meduim that might help

---------------------
Susan: what are the copyright issues?

---------------------
Deb Boatwright: My school is a school in needs of improvement for math

---------------------
Susan: I'm never sure whether I can jsut take an applet

---------------------
LFS: deb - is the name "algebra for all"

---------------------
Susan: ok

---------------------
Moderator (Maria Droujkova): LFS, there are several people in Math 2.0 group who
work on SL and OpenSim interfaces, e.g. Trevor Meyer - we can discuss it on the
email group there: http://groups.google.com/group/mathfuture/topics

---------------------
Deb Boatwright: no what I mean about algebra for all is that they say everyone can
learn algebra

---------------------
Susan: i just got frustrated

---------------------
Deb Boatwright: how can we help

---------------------
Susan: i've used sketchpad but found this much more daunting

---------------------
Susan: me too

---------------------
Susan: may i talk on my mic

---------------------
LFS: and better

---------------------
Moderator (Maria Droujkova): Susan, just click your mic and talk

---------------------
Susan: but i feel that this is not intuitive

---------------------
LFS: the forum is great but they are very "high" math and want to explain it in
"very general" terms

---------------------
Susan: it would help to have some of these listed in a FAQ

---------------------
Deb Boatwright: i think it would be great to start using it as a geoboard

---------------------
Deb Boatwright: and then letting students see it grow

---------------------
Susan: sketchpad has a huge support system

---------------------
Susan: I know about autograph too

---------------------
Deb Boatwright: you in the uk are ahead of us I think regarding the use of
technology

---------------------
LFS: now theres a non-intuitive program

---------------------
Susan: agreed with that...autograph is hard

---------------------
Susan: what about an online class?
---------------------
Deb Boatwright: hats off for anything you all do

---------------------
Susan: i know there is no funding

---------------------
LFS: gs is great for "rich" districts

---------------------
Susan: but maybe people would be willing to pay

---------------------
LFS: but ggb is catching on fast

---------------------
Moderator (Markus Hohenwarter): sorry, lost Internet

---------------------
Susan: there was only ONE session at NCTM Washington DC this year

---------------------
Susan: I was very disappointed

---------------------
Moderator (Maria Droujkova): NCTM isn't big on technology

---------------------
Deb Boatwright: you can color objects on the board

---------------------
LFS: no kidding maria

---------------------
LFS: susan - i really like to find simple answers to ggb problesm so if you get
stuck, if you want you can write me lindas@t-home.mk

---------------------
Moderator (Michael Borcherds): There are some tutorials here:

---------------------
Moderator (Michael Borcherds): http://www.geogebra.org/static/tutorials/

---------------------
Moderator (Maria Droujkova): maybe just English language list?

---------------------
Erin: NCTM is not really supporting tecnology at all these days

---------------------
Susan: Very few people know about it here

---------------------
CalArmstrong: to be fair, NCTM is too busy with math standards battles on several
fronts

---------------------
LFS: http://math247.pbworks.com/Learn+and+Use+GeoGebra

---------------------
Susan: NCTM is not classroom teachers

---------------------
LFS: that's the truth about nctm

---------------------
Moderator (Michael Borcherds): and there are some tutorials on Youtube

---------------------
Susan: but people have to apply to speak

---------------------
Susan: Only one...last year

---------------------
CalArmstrong: but that was Clay Shirky's point.... we don't necessarily need
organizations

---------------------
Erin: I have heard of people that have entered proposals dealing with amth 2.0 and
tech and they are getting denied

---------------------
Susan: I don't think that is the answer.....

---------------------
CalArmstrong: NCTM conferences local organizing committees choose the
presentations, not NCTM itself

---------------------
LFS: not too much at necc (iste) either

---------------------
Susan: NECC deadline is OCt 8

---------------------
Deb Boatwright: I would just like to start using it in my creation of math lessons
for use with smartboard.

---------------------
Moderator (Maria Droujkova): http://climeconnections.blogspot.com/2009/08/math-20-
making-virtual-splash-in-san.html is the link

---------------------
LFS: GeoGebra apps in the classroom are 2 types: constructions and applets.

---------------------
Deb Boatwright: Put it up on Illuminate

---------------------
Moderator (Maria Droujkova): http://mathfuture.wikispaces.com/events

---------------------
Deb Boatwright: http://illuminations.nctm.org/Lessons.aspx
---------------------
Susan: i think that would help

---------------------
Moderator (Maria Droujkova): there was an unconference by NECC (unplugged, that
is) that was pretty good

---------------------
Moderator (Markus Hohenwarter):
