Hard to imagine that was almost 22 years!!! Like you .. I have spent the 40 years of my career trying to get Technology into the classroom ... And particularly the Mathematics classroom .... <br /><br />As I think back to 1996 at the conference ...it was just a magical time .. One of my fondest memories was that EVERY SESSION WAS SOLD OUT ... And as you might remember we had to have the lab and the trailer OPEN .. Before the meeting schedule , at lunch and after the meeting schedule .... People just wanted hands on ... And we felt we needed to give it to them .... Another warm fuzzy .. Was that about 40 teachers kept in touch with me over the next year ... As they tried things out in their classroom .. And I could remotely coach them .. It was great <br /><br />Again I truly appreciate all the all the leadership and time you have put into getting technology into the Mathematics classroom ... My hat is off and I’m bowing deeply at your feet .... Thanks for all you have done ...

But I liked the old Math Forum when they were doing those "radical" CWACs in the 90s well before NCTM had any strong interest in computer labs. Hopefully they will rediscover their roots and come up with something interesting in the future.Ihor Charischakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09311015215728634606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1695871120398977027.post-78283526824775852812017-10-04T11:54:32.667-04:002017-10-04T11:54:32.667-04:00I have mixed feelings about it.

They lose. Unfortunately, what the lose to is of little educational value. <br /><br />My hope is that out of this dire situation we can create new contracts for learning with young people and adults to create better learning for all concerned. <br /><br />I like you too, Ihor! <br />For those interested, you can see some of our stuff at<br />https://ctrl.education.illinois.edu/ltec <br /><br />-George<br />GeorgeRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04299245462520101075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1695871120398977027.post-71155197663183449902017-08-25T12:16:30.981-04:002017-08-25T12:16:30.981-04:00I enjoyed reading your blog!

(See http://www.clime.org/2017/07/math-education-is-stem-education-really.html) But the powers that be at NCTM resist it (CS) as if it were a plague. I assume the new president-elect will not be any different than all the presidents that came before him. I talked with George Reese recently. His project involves using Scratch a great deal and he thinks that all the subjects will start to blend together and eventually schools will be hybrids and CS will become prominent. I like George a lot! :-)Ihor Charischakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09311015215728634606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1695871120398977027.post-79603290777776245192017-08-25T11:52:12.012-04:002017-08-25T11:52:12.012-04:00You have been working on solving this problem as l...You have been working on solving this problem as long as I have been working on using computer science (coding) to practice problem solving.
