]]> There are more and more countries in the world like South-Africa where GeoGebra is already very-well established: almost all universities involved in Mathematics teacher education and many mathematics teachers are using GeoGebra. Gerrit Stols, chair of the GeoGebra Institute of the University of Pretoria, South-Africa has played a very important role in this.

Gerrit has given about 40 workshops all over  South-Africa since the establishment of the GeoGebra Institute in 2009. Many education ministry officials and math-teachers from Gauteng, Limpopo regions and the Free State have attended these workshops.

Based on his long teaching experience he has compiled an easy-to-follow GeoGebra 4.2 manual (based on the school curriculum), which you can download from the geogebra tube: http://www.geogebratube.org/material/show/id/39024. This manual has short YouTube video illustrations of each section.

Gerrit has also written articles evaluating his teaching experience, you can download his research results here:
