Dynamic Geometry Game for Pods (Gerry Stahl's eLibrary, #21)

This book contains adventures in digital geometry for the minds of students in pods and in home-schooling. Learning about geometry has inspired many of the most important thinkers for centuries and helped them to make sense of the world. This sequence of 50 hands-on challenges will step learners through the most exciting experiences of geometry, from basic points, lines and circles to construction and proof. The book is structured as a game: a series of thought-provoking challenges that provides a stimulating experience of collaboration with pod-mates and a fun introduction to geometry.
Online and pod-based education opens new opportunities for highly motivating and effective approaches. However, success requires innovative and well-designed tasks. The present "Dynamic Geometry Game for Pods" translates the learning of traditional Euclidean geometry into an engaging, stimulating and collaborative experience for online pods of students or for individual home-schooled students.
Dynamic geometry is a recent transformation of classic geometry into an online app, which allows one to explore geometric figures by dragging them around the computer screen. Students can construct their own figures and receive immediate automated feedback about the results. This can provide a lively, hands-on experience of geometry.

About the Author

Gerry Stahl's professional research is in the theory and analysis of CSCL (Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning). In 2006 Stahl published "Group Cognition: Computer Support for Building Collaborative Knowledge" (MIT Press) and launched the "International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning". In 2009 he published "Studying Virtual Math Teams" (Springer), in 2013 "Translating Euclid," in 2015 a longitudinal study of math cognitive development in "Constructing Dynamic Triangles Together" (Cambridge U.), and in 2021 "Theoretical Investigations: Philosophical Foundations of Group Cognition" (Springer).

All his work outside of these academic books is published for free in volumes of essays at Smashwords (or at Lulu as paperbacks at minimal printing cost).

Gerry Stahl earned his BS in math and science at MIT. He earned a PhD in continental philosophy and social theory at Northwestern University, conducting his research at the Universities of Heidelberg and Frankfurt. He later earned a PhD in computer science at the University of Colorado at Boulder. He is now Professor Emeritus at the College of Computation and Informatics at Drexel University in Philadelphia. His website--containing all his publications, materials on CSCL and further information about his work--is at http://GerryStahl.net.
