Master of modern educational technologies has become the basic literacy of teachers in the21st century. What courses does a future mathematics teacher need besides the common course Modern Educational Technology?How to integrate IT with school subjects? We offered a course entitled Dynamic Geometry mainly to mathematics majors. In this thesis, we shall reflect on what we have done, what we have obtained, and what we need to improve.We first discuss the theoretical perspectives of dynamic geometry from three aspects: integration of IT and subjects, characters of mathematics, and mathematical technologies. We then describe in details how we do, i.e., who teach the courses, teaching objectives, guidelines, preparation of teaching materials, innovative teaching and evaluation models, main achievements, etc. we present the survey results with students who took the courses in different years. Their feedbacks are so positive. Finally, we draw a blue plan from our experiments in the past5years.
