I'd love to share my marking rubrics for the IA's with you to compare notes. Corinne I look forward to it! Always looking for good ideas. I too will share mine with you and the rest of the group. --

It seems that many portfolio pieces are substantially improved/made easier/only solvable by the use of dynamic software such as GeoGebra. The reason it is good though is because it is dynamic. How does a student show the dynamic nature of their work on a static medium (that is paper). I know it is possible to put the animations online. Maybe a link in the report to this could be viable but then it is hard for the moderator to know if this is the students' own work. Unfortunately, at this point, the IB does not accept electronic versions of portfolios or other IA from other subjects. They are currently experimenting with electronic submission of MYP tasks but that is no help for us in DP. The best way to demonstrate the dynamic nature of a Geogebra doc is to copy and paste a series of screen shots and include them in the report. Hopefully, electronic submission of IA tasks will be possible in the near future.

-- Could you please do a demonstration on how to use LaTex, which enables formulae to be written into geogebra. Sorry that I didn't get to this. The best way to use LaTex in any application is to use a LaTex equation editor such as this and then copy and paste the LaTex code into the html code in your document or into the LaTex text box in Geogebra. I have done this successfully in Geogebra, so I know that it works.
