Math 2.0 update July 14
July 14th, 2009We had a good start last week with “Where is Math 2.0?” web event at the Future of Education series. Logs will be available shortly. People said they’d like to see a social meeting place for those interested, a regular Twitter chat, a regular LearnCentral voice/multimedia meeting, and a Diigo tag group.
Visit The Future of Education
Toward these goals:
Here is a start of a Wiki called “Math Future” (not “math 2.0″ since it’s somewhat silly, and also in case we progress beyond 2.0) http://mathfuture.wikispaces.com/ There, you can add events you organize or attend to the calendar, tell people about your projects, find collaborators, and work toward some common language (math 2.0, math social objects, learning disintermediation and so on).
Twitter chats will be on Wednesdays, July 15th, 6-7pm Pacific / 9-10pm Eastern, with #mathchat tag used. Please volunteer yourself or colleagues to host! I’d like to see 5-7 rotating hosts. This Wednesday, Colleen King of Math Playground (@colleenk) and I (@mariadroujkova) will host it.
Diigo group we will use is Math Links with “Math 2.0″ tag. If any of your bookmarks relate to the topic, can you please add “Math 2.0″ (in quotations) to them? To add tags to other members’ links, click “save” and then select “save to the group” option.
LearnCentral events will start in August (the NECC debriefing is still going strong).
