Tuesday February 26th update on actions taken:
19- Used of these activities with my own students. This activity started yesterday (Monday February 25th, 2013) and will finish on Friday March 22nd.

20- Obtained and discussed feedback from collaborators.

21- As a result of the above, I found out that the GeoGebra Tube Top Menu Bar reduced the size of the Dynamic Worksheet Window.

22- Changed the GeoGebra Tube settings of each of the presentations so that windows are 700pixels high. This cancels the problem with the Top Menu Bar as described above.

Sunday February 24th update on actions taken:

17- Published the set of dynamic GeoGebraworksheets specially created for this practicum in different GeoGebra Tube, the specialised GeoGebra network. These activities can also be accessed and commented in EdModo, Youtube, Facebook and Twitter.

18- Contacted Practicum collaborators. I have made contact with Mathematics Teachers in my own school (LAS) as well as other international schools in London, Munich, Zaragoza and Zurich. Teachers from other schools might also contact me to give me feedback about these activities when finding them in GeoGebra Tube, EdModo, Youtube, Facebook or Twitter. 

Current ongoing work:

Summary of the actions taken so far


14- Finished creating the set of dynamic worksheets for my target unit (functions)!!! This work might need to be edited to adjust as per feedback from its applications but it is ready to be published. There is just one more dynamic worksheet to be published, but as it combines the previous ones it is best to create it later in this practicum.
15- Written report #1 with my views about this practicum so far.
16- Read some of my colleagues' reports and left a couple of comments to encourage them in their own practicum.

Current ongoing work:
17- Publish the set of dynamic GeoGebra worksheets specially created for this practicum in different educational networks including GeoGebra Tube, the specialised GeoGebra network.
