This pages aims to provide a summary of all the resources currently available for teaching geometry.
Please report dead links or new (used, tested and evaluated) resources to KHH.

There are also separate indices for 3-D Graphics and 2-D Graphics. These demonstrate other methods of working geometrically with ICT

General Program Notes

LOGO

LOGO has a beginners index and a more advanced index on this site. It is excellent for 2D work and can be forced to work reasonably well in 3-D

SketchUp

Google SketchUp is a 3-D drawing program which is very useful for some applications and totally infuriating for others.
