GeoGebra 2010 Conference in North America

GeoGebra是一个免费的开源动态数学软件，它将交互式几何与代数和电子表格功能结合起来，具有改变学校，数学和工程部门STEM教育的巨大潜力。虽然GeoGebra在欧洲和美国获得了多个教育软件奖项，但它还没有充分发挥其对美国K-16数学教育社区的变革性影响的潜力。该项目由伊萨卡学院数学系和一个国际合作规划者小组领导，为将于2010年7月27日至28日在伊萨卡学院举行的第一届北美GeoGebra会议GeoGebra-NA 2010提供部分支持。本次会议的全球使命是建立一个数学家，数学教育工作者和课堂教师的社区，他们可以开发GeoGebra和其他类似软件的潜力，通过创造性开发，实践实验和研究来改造数学教学和课程。

GeoGebra is free, open source dynamic mathematics software that joins interactive geometry with algebra and spreadsheet features that have striking potential for transforming STEM education in schools, mathematics and engineering departments. While GeoGebra has received several educational software awards in Europe and the USA, it has not reached its full potential for transformative influence on the American K-16 mathematics education community. This project, led by mathematics faculty at Ithaca College and an international group of collaborating planners, provides partial support for the First North American GeoGebra Conference, GeoGebra-NA2010, to be held July 27-28, 2010 at Ithaca College. The global mission of this conference is to build a community of mathematicians, mathematics educators, and classroom teachers who can develop the potential of GeoGebra and other similar software for transformation of mathematics instruction and curricula through creative development, practical experimentation, and research.
