Who is CLIME?• 1986. Washington NCTM. Logo-interest
group meeting.
• Committee formed which turned into CLIME - Council for Logo in Math Education.
• 1988. CLIME becomes an affiliate of NCTM.
• 1992. Low tech visibility. Delegate Assembly win. No advisory board was ever formed as a result. So much for CLIME’s lobbying power.
The Clime Saga continues• 1994. CLIME changes its name to Council
for Logo & Technology in Math Education. Why? Sketchpad.
• 1997. Logo is dropped but not the L.
• 2000. NCTM makes Technology a Principle.
• 2007. Computer labs dropped. Complaint: Mostly used for checking email.
• 2008. Blog campaign begins as Web 2.0 stirs imaginations
• 2010. The Math 2.0 phenomenon.

So what is Math 2.0 and how will it help?
• Math education involving social networking• Math education using web 2.0 tools• Using Web 2.0 to build knowledge and share knowledge of
math concepts• Maths anywhere, anytime, for anyone• The ability of any skill level to place mathematics on any social
networking site• Math created and shared between people.• Math that you create and/or contribute to, rather than just
passively receive• Math that is interactive among teachers and students• For me math 2.0 is collaborating and connecting with others on
problem solving, math thinking & learning• ... interactive, participatory, engaging... you know... the stuff
that you don't get with textbooks.• Math that is interactive and communicative• Breaking math into concepts, and components, and methods
that can be shared interactively between people• Math 2.0 is the ability of users to create their own math-rich
social objects, using web technologies.• My contribution to the list (sent by proxy – thanks, Cal) was
that Math 2.0 is a contracted form of math and Web 2.0• For complete chat log click here.
