Learning about online geometry resources

Posted on by

Session Description

This is a usability study on a website that introduces two online geometry resources to geometry teachers at President William McKinley High School. The website introduces Desmos and Geogebra and contains videos on how to use the graphing calculators and class activities. It also has a page where it lists out available activities separated by quarters and modules that follow our DOE State booklet.

Thirteen participants were recruited from teachers at McKinley High School. They were observed heavily on level of interest on the contents and the ease of navigation. There were three iterations, each followed by a revision of the website based on feedbacks from participants.
