Abstract
In this theoretical chapter, we explore the features of GeoGebra under the perspective of cognitive theories and further discuss its pedagogical implications. As a dynamic and interactive learning environment, GeoGebra is relatively new to many of us and needs to be explored, discussed, and understood under various perspectives. Our goal is to initiate this cognitive discussion and motivate researchers and practitioners to join the ongoing conceptual and practical experimentation.
