Hans Schmid, Wernher-von-Braun-Gymnasium Friedberg, Germany
Answers to the questionnaire (translated from German into English), May 2, 1998

In which situation did you use maths online? (School, home,... as pupil, teacher,...)
As I use to do quite often, I have searched for interactive sites in order to make them available for my pupils.

Can - according to your opinion - maths online contribute to a better understanding of mathematics?
Yes, definitely. After all, it's not static, as compared to written stuff on the blackboard or a figure in a book.

What did you like very much?
Interactivity, Derivative puzzles.

What did you like less?
That everything is online :-(. The problem is that when I'm online with a school class, I depend on the loading times on the Web. This is sometimes a matter a good luck. I dream about offering your applets to our pupils in the framework of our school intranet (i.e. offline). Is this supposed to remain a dream? (Answer: Currently we modify the applets from time to time. As soon as a satisfactory status has been reached, we will offer some download possibility).

Did everything work well in technical respect? Did any applet give rise to difficulties?
Game of Life: Trembling cursor when marking the cells.

In which situation did you use maths online? (School, home,... as pupil, teacher,...)
As pupil.

What did you like very much?
Functions.

What did you like less?
The drawings in the coordinate system applet are extremely difficult to perform.

Do you have suggestions for modification or completion?
It would be great if coordinate input was possible. (Thanks for the hint).

Do you have suggestions for modification or completion?
Better exercices for probability issues, mathematical applications.

Did everything work well in technical respect?
