In her session she also demonstrated some of its applications on the GeoGebra interface : drawing in 2D to extend in 3D – for example a pyramid Visualizing the solid obtained by rotation of a polynomial about the x axis ,drawing the polynomial in 2D , drawing a connector segment between the x-axis and the function, drawing a circle with the connector segment as radius , using the connector to make the circle move in the 2nd quadrant etc. The session was interactive and useful.
