About the events
Friday, September 4th at 10am Eastern US time and Friday, September 25th at 8am Eastern US time Nellie Deutsch will host Maria Droujkova at her WiZiQ class series to present about the Math 2.0 working group. Math 2.0 is a catch-all phrase for doing mathematics with web 2.0 technologies. The interest group includes researchers, education practitioners, technology enablers, parents and kids working on relevant research and development projects. The group communicates through members' blogs, nings and wikis. We also have several group hubs: Here is a bit more on Math 2.0 issues. Not only is mathematics currently lagging in social spaces, the lag is increasing with time. Kids from the "digital native" generation are native to spaces where specialists still broadcast math from ivory towers, and kids aren't welcome to contribute content. Most pedagogically innovative math computer games are at least fifteen years old. Come discuss these and other trends, mostly alarming but occasionally hopeful, and meet interesting people ready to take action together.
