The Geometry Forum and the World Wide Web

Everywhere you look these days there are references to "taming the Internet" using the World Wide Web and Mosaic. What's the Forum doing with the Web?

We're on the Web! Our Geometry Forum home page provides information and links to an enormous variety of resources. We don't intend to exclude those of you who don't yet have Web access, and we've put much of our Web material into our gopher and ftp archives at mathforum.org (username = anonymous, password = your email address) -- look for /using.the.forum and /learning.and.math. But it's all available in a handsomer, more useful form via our Web site, including links out to the cyberspace world.

Here's our Uniform Resource Locator (URL): http://mathforum.org

See if you can't get your local administrator to provide you with World Wide Web browsing capability -- you're going to want it anyway to use our new Web newsreader (coming soon), which will enable all of us to read news with pictures embedded and links to other documents -- great for math teachers and researchers!

What will you find when you visit our Web site?

The heart of the Geometry Forum is its newsgroups. From our home page you'll easily find links to all our current articles and past discussions in

Workshops

This summer we held two major workshops for math teachers, at Berry College in Georgia and Swarthmore College, both entitled Geometry and the Internet. From our K12 entry point (see page 3, column 2), you'll find links to Web pages on "Authentic Assessment" and "Geometry Under Construction" created by participants during one of these workshops. They did outstanding work and had a great time.
