CLIME 2011-2012 Moving Forward

Hello,
CLIME is kicking off the 2011-2012 season. 

Highlights:
Latest blog: "Yesterday I found out that I won a lottery that will cost me money" (I'll be speaking at the NCTM 2012 annual meeting.)

Invitation to participate in Conrad Wolfram's math summit in London in November
Sol Lederman writes: I'm helping to organize a summit in London in November to further the vision of Conrad Wolfram and his organization, computerbasedmath.org, which aims to recreate the math curriculum to have computers do the computing while kids do the thinking. 


We would love to see people at the summit who have a strong commitment to math education reform, whether those people be in education, government, or the private sector. If you are aligned with Conrad's vision (more information below) and would like an invitation to the summit, please send me an email and I will send you an invitation.
Sincerely,
Sol Lederman for computerbasedmath.org
