situating tool

Situating tools:

It creates situations which these students experienced in real life.  Thus, stimulation and virtual reality are possible. by means of virtual reality (Rs) extension systems, the computer can create 3 D images or display to give the user the feeling that is situated in a virtual environment. a flight simulation program is an example of situating tools which places the user in a simulated flying environment. 

Situation tools are similar to constructive tools in that they also, allow entire users to manipulate variables in the systems. however, the focus of situating tools is not much on the manipulation of variable but more on situating student in an environment for certain instructional purposes, for this reason, depending on the instructional objective, a simulation program can be a constructive tool but it can also be a situating tool,
Example: experiencing the culture of a remote country


Concept
A right angle triangle with a 90 degree angle.

Situating tool using Geogebra: Right angle triangle

Procedures:
Step by step to construct square 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 circle through B using the Circle with center through a point tool.
   
5. Select Angle with given size under the angle icon.
   
6. Double click on point A and type 90 degree in the box that pops up.
7. Draw the line segment from point A to point C.
   
   
   
   
   
8. Draw the line segment from point C to B or from B to C.
9. Hide the circle by right clicking them and deselecting show object.
