Putting Ideas into Practice: Examples of Teacher-Created Visualizations
Introduction
This section of Unit 3 will serve as an index of visualizations created by teachers. There are many great programs, such as Geometer's Sketchpad and GeoGebra, to help teachers create accurate visualizations. I use Geometer's Sketchpad to create visualizations. The program allows users to easily "copy" their creations, and "paste" them to a document. It also allows you to save your visualizations as images if need be. I frequently paste my creations into word documents or SmartNotebook files.
These programs are available for interested participants. These programs are optional and are not required in this course. For more information visit:

- Free trial version available!
- GeoGebra: https://www.geogebra.org
- Free for all users!
