How does a passionate and motivated group of educators use the Internet? How can we better align our efforts? What consulting could NCTM use? What resources NCTM already publishes could they use support sharing?Ihor Charischakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09311015215728634606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1695871120398977027.post-40448927942609519232014-12-15T10:42:51.799-05:002014-12-15T10:42:51.799-05:00My reply to David:

In the past CLIME and other affiliates were offered a room to hold sessions about topics of interest to the community. I’ll check with Cathy Carroll and others to see if that is still a possibility. Generally the sessions were held at the end of the program day. Any other thoughts or ideas about this?

Is there some sort of discussion/panel/etc... at NCTM in Boston about ways the NCTM could use the Internet more usefully in their work?<br />Ihor Charischakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09311015215728634606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1695871120398977027.post-66267359205169094362014-12-15T10:36:50.975-05:002014-12-15T10:36:50.975-05:00Ihor: Thanks for posting this.

I wrote a book called Spatial Mathematics (CRC Press) and there are so many ways that educators can make use of these powerful geotechnologies in their instruction these days - from teaching about proportions, ranges, trigonometry, classification methods, critical thinking, and more, using population, ecoregions, natural hazards, and other data inside tools such as ArcGIS Online (www.arcgis.com).
