GeoGebra is an open-source union j mathematics app that is used on over 700,000 classroom Windows computers in Australia alone. And the developers have just released GeoGebra for Windows 8 , so now there s a touch-based version of GeoGebra for students using tablets, or teachers using interactive whiteboards in the classroom.
Last year I completed a review of the key pieces of software installed on Australian classroom computers it took quite a while, because there are so many different apps, and so many different school setups, but eventually I ended up with a list of software that was in the standard install for up to a million classroom computers. Whilst every single app I found could already run on Windows 8, it s a passion for me to track which ones are also available as new Windows 8 touch apps too. For Australian schools, this announcement is a big one!
