Dear All,This might be interesting for some of you. Let me know if you need some GeoGebra cards I have plenty of them to send to you.
Today, we will have a meeting with the people at the One Laptop Per Child project and if things go well we will have GeoGebra on XOs :) We will let you know.
With very best wishes, Zsolt Begin forwarded message:

We would be grateful if you can circulate this announcement widely to secondary mathematics and science teachers. A flyer/poster for the event can be downloaded: http://www.riskatioe.org/Workshop-poster-York-23Feb.pdf Whilst we will be pleased to see mathematics and science educators at the workshop, please note that the priority is for participation by classroom teachers. Thanks - Phillip -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SCIENCE AND MATHS TEACHERS WORKING TOGETHER: NEW CONNECTIONS AND NEW MEANINGS A free one-day workshop supported by: * National Science Learning Centre* National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics (NCETM)* The TURS Project, Institute of Education, University of London ** Professional development grants from the ENTHUSE programme available to all state sector teachers ** Tuesday 23 February 2010, 9.30 to 16.00 at the National Science Learning Centre, York (Event code: NATBC0930) [PLEASE NOTE CHANGE TO PREVIOUSLY ADVERTISED DATE] This event is for mathematics and science teachers to work with new ideas for collaboration between their subjects. The impetus to do thisis ever stronger (e.g. from the national STEM programme, and the revised National Curriculum), hence it is timely to explore new ways of workingtogether to develop joint projects in schools. A conventional understanding is that science needs mathematics for essentialtechniques, whilst mathematics needs science for motivating contexts for mathematical topics. This characterisation however can easily emphasisedivision between the subjects, rather than encouraging creative collaboration.The event offers inspiration through a keynote address and two hands- onworkshops by current multi-disciplinary research projects: * keynote by Mary Ratcliffe (Associate director, National SLC) 'Mathematics-science collaboration: a pedagogy for engagement';* the Nuffield Foundation Curriculum Programme, 'A skills framework forSTEM projects'; * the Promoting Teachers' Understanding of Risk in Socio-Scientific Issues project at IOE London, 'Working with risk and decision-making scenarios in the classroom'. The final session will be an ideas workshop for teachers to beginthinking collaboratively, and continue dialogue and implementation backat school.Mathematics and Science teachers from the same school are encouraged toattend together (note that ENTHUSE funding could help to support this financially). The event is FREE to all participants. In addition, teachers from the state sector (school and FE) are eligible for additional funding under the ENTHUSE programme which will pay for costs of travel, supply coverfor missed teaching, and/or a sum of money that can be spent on follow-upprofessional development work at school.
