Prospects of IGI in Taiwan :2008/10/14 Prospects of IGI in Taiwan Excellent mathematics teachers and skilled GeoGebra practitioners
Difficulties of implementation of GeoGebra in classroom practices, due to:
An absence of integral pedagogy bridging GeoGebra and mathematics teaching
A lack of ICT facilities in classrooms
Examination-driven cultural tradition
Textbook and exam orientated
Excellent maths performance expected
Strong need for IGI support
