Uses of Java Applets in Mathematics Education
C. P. Mawata

For many teachers, instruction using web pages conjures up the image of a book in the vertical plane and no pedagogical advantage. With the advent of Java applets this is no longer the case. This paper aims to demonstrate that applets are very powerful as a medium of instruction. Examples of several ways in which applets can improve mathematics instruction will be given. The reader, however, should not be left with the impression that these applets are all that can be done. The hope is that the reader will think of instances where an applet would be appropriate in his or her teaching. The level of the material to be learned can be anywhere from elementary school to tertiary level. Less
