GeoGebra is a great free interactive tool that all teachers teaching math should at least know about. It's great for explorations and visualizations and allows to create interactive worksheets for students. My son used GeoGebra last year for his 7th grade science project. In the first portion of my presentation I will talk about his project and show how he used GeoGebra. Then I will present some features of the program. The last portion will be a hands-on workshop where the attendees will get a chance to use GeoGebra and ask questions.

Just to make sure, I'm not affiliated with the creatrors of GeoGebra. I'm just a simple user that really likes it.
