This came to us by way of John Olive. It concerns an interesting
conference to be held in Hanoi, Vietnam, December 3-6, 2006.
I think a Fathom submission would be welcome!

contributions from the webpage http://www.math.msu.edu/~nathsinc/ICMI/
The 17th ICMI Study will be concerned with the use of digital
technologies in mathematics teaching and learning in countries across
the world. In particular it will focus on:
1. cultural diversity and how this diversity impinges on the use
of digital technologies in mathematics teaching and learning
particularly in developing countries.
a set of themes to serve as the organising framework: Mathematics and
mathematical practices; Learning and assessing mathematics with and
through digital technologies; Teachers and teaching; Design of
learning environments and curricula; Implementation of curricula and
classroom practice; Access, equity and socio-cultural issues;
Connectivity and virtual networks for learning.
Participants in the Study will be invited through their written
submission to propose to which theme they would contribute taking
account of the following approaches: Impact on mathematics; Roles of
different digital technologies; Contribution to learning mathematics;
Role of the teacher; Theoretical frameworks.
The Study Conference will be hosted by the Hanoi Institute of
Technology. As is the normal practice for ICMI studies, participation
in the Study conference will be by invitation only, given on the
basis of a submitted contribution.
The Study Book that will follow from ICMI Study 17 will be published
in the ICMI Study Series. The volume will be informed by the papers
and the discussions at the Study Conference as well as its outcomes.
A report on the Study and its outcomes will also be presented at the
11th International Congress on Mathematical Education to be held in
Mexico in 2008.
Call for Contributions to ICMI Study 17
Submissions will be between 6 pages and 8 pages and written in
English, the language of the conference.
