The main purpose of the weekly meetings of the Math 2.0 interest group is to promote community collaboration. Every host of weekly meetings is leading an interesting project or a math community you can immediately join for research, development and networking. You can see the list of upcoming events, recordings of past events, and webinar login instructions here: http://mathfuture.wikispaces.com/events If you have a Math 2.0 topic, project or event and would like to present to the group, please contact us through the email list: http://groups.google.com/group/mathfuture/topicsEverything the group does is free, as in speech and as in beer.
~*~*~*~*~* Wednesday, September 9th at 9pm Eastern US time, Karen Brennan of MIT will present Scratch, a great software development platform from their The Lifelong Kindergarten project. Karen will answer our questions about using Scratch and programming as a pathway into mathematics, the new ScartchEd community for educators she started (you are invited!) and the lively Scratch programming community. An open source applet uploaded every 15 seconds!
Later this month:
~*~*~*~*~* Wednesday, September 16th at 9pm Eastern US time, Troy Peterson, the creator of Nibipedia, will give us a tour of his new social video annotation, bookmarking and "deep linking" (links within the video) platform. He will then invite us to brainstorm on the math education research and practical uses of the tool.
~*~*~*~*~* Saturday, September 26th at 1pm Eastern US time, Michael Borcherds, the lead developer, and Markus Hohenwarter, the creator of GeoGebra, will talk to us about their incredible modeling software. Find out how a master's thesis project turned into a resource for more than half a million visitors a month, what happens now with that other geometry modeling software that isn't free, and how you can participate in the future community and research developments!
~*~*~*~*~* We also have several asynchronous, ongoing projects that invite participants, and a growing list of article and chapter calls for participation. This includes a Math 2.0 (un)conference Ihor Charischak of CLIME organizes in April, Roland O'Daniels' Content Literacy and Discourse in Mathematics networks, Colin McAlister's Online Math Access network, Coleen King's game development project, working rather actively, and Matt Kumershek's peer math. You can view project details, or add your R&D project to the list, here: http://mathfuture.wikispaces.com/people+and+networks
~*~*~*~*~* I will be giving a summary talk about Math 2.0 for the online learning groups organized by Nellie Deutsch: "Sharing is caring." If you want a general overview of the topic, resources and trends, the talk will be on September 25th at 8am Eastern: http://www.wiziq.com/online-class/174521-Math -with-Web-2-0-Tools
~*~*~*~*~* WikiEducator, TappedIn, Robin Agnotti with her Math 2.0 research grant, and Sugar on a Stick people will be hosting events later. Stay tuned.
You might want to send a correction. I got all excited for a moment about JULIE Brennan being in a webinar. Of course it's not her... ;^) And I'm still excited about hearing about scratch.
Warmly,
Sue
