The purpose of this inservice is to introduce elementary and secondary educators to the operation of Geometer's Sketchpad. We will present,in class, the basic procedures needed to use this software. Furthermore, lessons located on our web document will allow teachers to access illustrations of some sample classroom uses for the program. These imbedded lessons will teach the use of some of the more advanced functions of the Sketchpad which make this a unique tool for teaching geometric concepts in both the elementary and secondary classroom.
