GeoGebra is written in Java and future versions will use HTML5. This means that GeoGebra integrates well with the web. GeoGebra includes tools that allow you to export the code and embed it in a webpage. With a web editor you can add to the webpage to give instructions to students concerning how you wish them to manipulate the GeoGebra applet and pose questions they might investigate. Your page may then be shared with your students by uploading it to a course website.
First, work with GeoGebra to get it in a format that you wish to share with your pupils. Save the GeoGebra construction as a .ggb file so that it may later be revised if necessary. Then follow the steps below to Export and add to the webpage.
Add Title(or possibly change the title), add (or possibly change) the author, add Text above the construction providing instructions for students, and Text below the construction providing any additional instructions or guiding questions to support the students' work with the GeoGebra learning tool.
Click Advanced
Select appropriate Functionality and User Interface items. These options determine the menu items and tools that will be presented to the students. In most cases you will likely want to select Show icon to reset construction
Ensure that the drop-down menu in the lower right of the window shows File: html
Click: Export
Save the resulting .html file in an appropriate directory
Viewthe video below if you would like to see a demonstration of the process described above.
Adding to Your Dynamic Worksheet Webpage
The text you added above and below the GeoGebra applet appears in a fixed single font. In addition, your webpage lacks features found on many websites: tables, graphics, pictures and video etc. These can all be added by opening your .html file in a web-editor such as Adobe Dreamweaver or the open-source editor, KompoZer. When editing your file be careful to not alter any of the source (html) code between:
<applet name="ggbApplet"
and
</applet>
Above and below this code you can add any of the usual webpage features.
This is your Sidebar, which you can edit like any other page in your workspace.
This Sidebar appears everywhere on your workspace. Add to it whatever you like -- a navigation section, a link to your favorite web sites, or anything else.
