In the new Principles
and Standards the technology principle states "Teachers should use technology
to enhance their students' learning opportunities by selecting or creating
mathematical tasks that take advantage of what technology can do efficiently
and well - graphing, visualizing, and computing. For example, teachers
can use simulations to give students experience with problem situations
that are difficult to create without technology, or they can use data and
resources from the Internet and the World Wide Web to design student tasks.
Spreadsheets, dynamic geometry software, and computer microworlds are also
useful tools for posing worthwhile problems. " - Principals & Standards
for School Mathematics (NCTM, 2000), p.26.
Software
In this first issue of CLIME Connections for 2000-2001 we thought we
would bring you up to date on the some of the software environments that
are in the spirit of the technology principle above. [in progress - links

Other Resources
With thousands of websites devoted to mathematics and technology, it's
sometimes overwhelming to know exactly where to start. Rather than put
together an exhaustive list of websites, we've decided to highlight just
a small selection of sites and put them into some kind of context. [coming
soon]
Editor's note:
We hope that you will share some of your favorites with
us. Please post them to the discussion
board or if you prefer just send them directly to me at ihor@clime.org
Preparing this for September, 2001. Stay tuned.
