I just started using GeoGebra, the open source dynamic geometry software, to create an exploration activity for my Intro to Proofs class. The activity itself was an extension of a discussion in class about the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra. It can also be used in a precalc class which stresses concepts.

I was surprised by how easy it was to create - no need to learn Java and the user interface for GeoGebra was very intuitive. I plan to do more with this software, given the speed with which I can make some very interesting acivities.
