Training and Support
CPD is given throughout the year as advertised on our website:
http://research.shu.ac.uk/geogebra/TrainingCPD.html
Currently there are 2 Beginners, 2 Intermediates and 1 Advanced course planned. All take place on 9:30 - 16:30 on Saturdays and are currently free.
Other, bespoke courses have been and can be run for individuals/groups/societies but as such may incur costs.
Many tutorials and exemplar GeoGebra files at varying levels are to be found on the GIS website:

Development and Sharing
Some of our teaching and GeoGebra related materials can be downloaded from our GI's page: Resources These materials are designed to be shared by the community of teachers at all kinds of schools, from elementary schools to universities. There is also a growing collection of GeoGebra Tutorials from Basic to Advanced levels.
Outreach
We continue to introduce and demonstrate aspects of GeoGebra and associated modifications in pedagogy in local secondary school mathematics departments both when supporting our Mathematics Education students in their school placements and also during bespoke demonstration lessons for staff and pupils.
