    Hi Jen! I really appreciate how short and sweet this overview is. To be honest, the name "Geogebra" sounds a bit funky and intimidating, especially for someone who is not used to doing math on a computer, but your short points were perfect! It gave me a sense of what it is, why I might use it, and how I would be able to do so.Thank you!
