situating tools


                                           Concepts of situating tool


Situating tools 
includes simulation, virtual reality (VR), MUDs ( Multi-User domains or dungeons),
MOOs (MUD objects) and WOOs (web-based MOOs). It is a system in which the users 'experience' the context and happening. A flight simulation program is an example of a situating tool because it places the user in a simulated flying environment.
                                                
Situating tools are purposeful when a certain real-life experience is impossible or difficult to attain. Teacher instead of showing of fragmented pieces of information about Bhutan, the teacher may take students on a trip to a MOO, students are able to experience the cultural context of Bhutan.

Situating tool is similar to constructive tools that allow users to manipulate variables in the system. It is more on situating students in an environment for certain instructional purposes. Example like experiencing the culture of a remote country. For this reason, depending on the instructional objectives a simulation program can be a constructive tool.


Concept:  Constructing octagon shape

Procedures:

Step by Step to construct octagon in Geogebra
  

1.      First, click on Geogebra icon from the desktop.

 2. Draw a circle using a circle with the center through point.




            3. Draw 2nd  circle straightly downward on the ring of first circle.

4. Then after that follow the same step until the diagram becomes a complete circle.







once you get the complete circle using those small circles then draw a straight line from point U to W. after that you draw all the line by joining the points. then click on the arrow key. then select any small circle. 
click on the object and then you will observe the shape. 
finally, repeat the same process and you will observe octagon shape.
