Web Sketchpad

Show all headers | View raw

As many of you may know, it's possible to take sketches built with The Geometer's Sketchpad and convert them to Java Sketchpad to be viewed on the web. However, Java has a host of security issues and the conversion process is not very robust.

Web Sketchpad is a brand new technology from McGraw Hill that is exceedingly more powerful. 

Interacting with Web Sketchpad content requires nothing more than a modern HTML5 web browser.

You can find examples of Web Sketchpad content on a blog that I maintain with Scott Steketee (sineofthetimes.org), on the Geometric Functions site (geometricfunctions.org), in an article Scott and I wrote for Mathematics Teacher last year (www.nctm.org/Publications/Mathematics-Teacher/2016/Vol109/Issue6/Connecting-Functions-in-Geometry-and-Algebra/), and in Illuminations (illuminations.nctm.org/ --from the navigation bar choose Interactives | Web Sketchpad).

Nearly any sketch you've created with desktop Sketchpad can be converted to a Web Sketchpad model through a simple export process. If you're interested in creating your own non-commercial Web Sketchpad content, just let me know, and I will sign you up for our beta test. My e-mail is dscher (at) kcptech (dot) com.
