Situating Tools

Situating tools are systems which situate users in an environment where they may experience the context and happenings. Examples of situating tools include simulations, virtual reality. A flying simulation program is an example of situating tools because it places the user in a simulated flying environment. Virtual realities as situating tools are extensions of the computer-simulated 3-D environment in order to experience the world usually a user would need to wear a head mount display. The computer generates high-speed 3-D images on the displays and gives the user the feeling that they situated in the computer-generated virtual environment. 

Concept:

·        A Rhombus is flat shape with 4 straight sides that are all equal length and its opposite angles are equal.

 Situating tool using Geogebra:  Constructing Rhombus

Procedures:

Step by Step to construct Rhombus in Geogebra

1. First click on Geogebra icon from desktop

2. Draw two points A and B using the New Point tool

3.  Draw the line segment AB using the Segment between two Points tool 

      4. From A draw a parallel line through B point tool

5.      From C draw parallel line through D Point tool

 6. Find one intersection I of the parallel line that Intersect Two Objects tool\

7.       Draw the line segments AB,  BC and CD using the Segment between Two Points tool 

 

8.     Hide the line by right clicking them and deselecting Show Object.
