Geometry and Geogebra

Having taken Euclidean Geometry, I was exposed to a lot of the basics of geometry that I dont remember learning in high school geometry. A lot of what I learned, in the begining at least, was about relearning the foundation of what geometry is and how different shapes are formed. In this class, I was taught how to construct lots of different shapes using only lines, circle, angle, ect. and I got a much better understand of the how and why these shapes can exist. I think this will be useful information becasue I will be able to apply this knowledge to my future classes that I will teach, and also I will be able to use resources like Geogebra to show examples to my students. For me, geogebra was a big help in understanding the interaction between the different shapes.This will be helpful to students because they will be able to manipulate the figures and make observations about them, which a lot of times was a major factor in being able to understand. By having a resource that can be manipulaated, it gives infinately many more opportunites for understanding.
