Network activities:
The Nordic GeoGebra Network organizes yearly a three day conference: 2010 in Iceland, 2011 in Lithuania and 2012 in Estonia. In addition to the conferences we will organize three annual network
seminars for exchanging experiences: 2011 in Norway, 2012 in Sweden and 2013 in Denmark.
We expect about 100 participants at each conference and the choice of conferences location is based on economical considerations as we are trying to attract a variety of teachers that might not have access to funding.

Expected outcomes:
The expected outcome is more effective use of GeoGebra and other software in mathematics teaching at all levels of the school system in our countries as well as increased research activity.
We expect projects to emerge from our conferences and seminars to expand and widen local efforts. Examples of this could be informal teacher to teacher contact between countries sharing ideas in their ongoing teaching, collaboration between teacher educators in organizing courses, collaboration among researchers, and cooperation among text book authors in different countries. This will effect mathematics educators at all levels in our
countries.

Dissemination of results:
All the network partners participate in national and international GeoGebra meetings, seminars and conferences, and present results from the network activities at local, national and international
level. We will publish conference proceedings after each conference and make these available electronically through the network´s website and our national websites. As members of the International
GeoGebra Institute, we are frequent users of the website http://www.geogebra.org/ with more than 400 000 unique users every month from all over the world. The
Nordic GeoGebra network's website will be http://ww.geogebra.org/nordic, and thus our results and activities will be easily available to the global
GeoGebra community.
