=== Integrating digital tools into transaction of Mathematics, Science, Social science and Language subjects ===
The integration of digital tools / methods into subject teaching, must be based on a consideration of the disciplinary objectives, as well as challenges in meaning making, rather than on the features or functions of the software applications currently available. This perspective will reduce chances of 'teaching to the tool', and encourage the exploration of available applications to cater to the learning needs and priorities of the discipline.

ICT has made it easy to access information, this has reduced any need for memorizing content. Hence the focus should be to move out of 'consuming content' to skills of learning such as accessing information, evaluating, analyzing, understanding, meaning making and representing information, as well as focusing on conceptual learning and creativity.
Specific suggestions for integrating ICT in subject teaching are provided in this section. These are illustrative and you can create your own lessons integrating ICT in your subject.
You can try this in the ICT lab. You can also attempt a demonstration in your practice teaching, if you can access a laptop and a projector in your school.

Abstract theorems or concepts can be visualized using the tool. By providing for the expression of many concepts algebraically and geometrically, geogebra allows the abstract algebraic concepts to be visualized graphically (geometry) and also provides linkages between the two areas of mathematics, which may not be easily visible to the students. The basics of Euclidean geometry, the concept of point, line and plane can be elucidated with in this manner.

http://geogebra.org is a repository of geogebra lessons, it also includes workshops and activities on different topics in Mathematics. You could access these resources and customise them to your own requirement for transacting a topic.
You can use geogebra to create a lesson which you can demonstrate to the students. Or you can construct the lesson in the class along with the students, so that they can see the steps you take.
You can discuss the lesson with students and explore extensions to the lessons for extending learning on related concepts and sub-concepts.
