In a recent post, prior to NCSM and NCTM 2012 in Philadelphia, I talked about the Ignite presentations that were going on at NCSM. Andres Marti has been furiously editing away and has started posting the videos of the presentations … Continue reading
Some Suggestions for Math Technology Professional Development
I have been really focused on math technology professional development lately, which makes sense of course, since that’s what I do for a living. But after last week’s NCSM and NCTM conferences (see Karen Coe’s recent post), where professional development … Continue reading
