My vice principal came to me on Tuesday of this week and said that she had some money to spend, and she wanted to know if I needed any software for my classroom. I have been wanting Geometer’s Sketchpad because of how in-depth it is and its potential for visual learners. I am going to get 50 licenses for next year, and I am going to integrate it in my geometry curriculum.

As I was reading through the Tech Learning web site, I came across this article which provides some assistance for students working on various constructions. The article does state that the teacher may need to provide some additional guidance.  What I find most useful about this site is the use of vocabulary.  I can use this site as a preview of terms that we will be learning, and walk them through the instructions for constructions and teach them the functions of the software.
