Paid software are more used in the beginning
Example: project INFOTIME in Slovakia (central buying of the software Derive and Cabri Geometry in mathematics education)
They are products of the company Texas Instruments
There was later development of the open source softwares
Boom of using of the open source software in the „third world“
Decreasing of the using of paid softwares in the primary and secondary schools
Project „ Free Open Source Software for Schools“ (SOS)
Different kind of software-educational software, KompoZer – wysiwyg HTML editor
GeoGebra, webnode.cz webpage
KompoZer is free software, which is independent from the platform and accessible for Linux and Mac OS X. Kompozer belongs to Wysiwyg editors (What You See Is What You Get ).
It means for our practise, that we write directly text, insert pictures. We needn't coding of the html page.
Editor „translates“ all to the html language. Files save on the disk with attachment html. We can
with Kompozer to create own WebPages and published them on the internet without knowledge of the HTML language.
The pupils, which are good in using MS Word, MS Excel or other programs of MS Office, have advantage in the work with Kompozer. They can use Kompozer intuitively and can understand work in natural way.
It is very good used in more fields of mathematics and teaching mathematics. Translations in 62 Languages (also in Hungarian).
Dynamical mathematical software. We construct through him points,
vectors, segments, lines, conics .... And later dynamically to change them.
On the other hand we can equations and coordinates of the objects to give directly.
Interactiv java programs
Dynamical demonstrations of different experiments
Possibility of animation
It is possible to give also text for comments
