1986
|
At the NCTM meeting in
Washington, John
Van de Walle led a meeting of educators who were interested in using
Logo
in the the teaching of mathematics. Approximately 125 people came to
the
meeting and the decision was made to create an organization of
Logo-using
math educators. |
|
1987
|
The group was officially formed and was
named the Council for Logo in Mathematics Education or CLIME for short.
Ihor Charischak became the committee chairperson. The CLIME newsletter
was born. Rheinhold Wappler becomes CLIME's first editor. CLIME begins
holding annual meetings during the annual NCTM meeting. |
|
1988
|
CLIME becomes affiliated with NCTM and
is the only
affiliate with a technology oriented theme. |
|
1992
|
CLIME became concerned with the lack of
visibility
of technology at the annual meetings. A successful resolution was
proposed to the delegate assembly of NCTM to create a technology
advisory group to
look into this matter. The upshot was a technology task force that
revised the NCTM position statements on technology and calculators.
This group met
once again and after the papers were completed, never met again. No
advisory
group was ever formed. At least not as a result of CLIME's lobbying. |
|
1994
|
Lew Romagnano becomes president of
CLIME. CLIME changes its name to Council for Logo and Technologyin
Mathematics Education to reflect new sofware developments especially
Geometer's Sketchpad. The name
of the acronym however remains the same (L is not changed to T) in
honor
of the Logo movement that inspired so many of us. |

CLIME makes it to prime time! We are
invited to host a session as part of the regular program in
Minneapolis. The CLIME website is born (with the help of the folks at
the Math Forum.) The location is: http://forum.swarthmore.edu/clime
CLIME does one more name change: the
Council
for Technology in Mathematics Education. Though Logo is dropped from
the
name, its spirit lives on. It just means that Logo has a lot of good
company
on the software shelf these days.
