Last week I attended the GeoGebra Global Gathering in Linz, Austria. There were lots of fantastic ideas being demonstrated but these are a few of my highlights that I think I’ll be making use of … Students creating animations It was great to see some ideas from Fabian Vitabar from Uruguay about student tasks that involve them creating animations in GeoGebra.
