Looking Ahead
Continuing and future projects at The Geometry Forum.
Extending our community by developing
- a "Mathematics Forum" -- to give focused support for, e.g., calculus, algebra, educational reform on the Internet
- newsgroups/mailing lists for any math-directed group that wishes them
- interaction with community colleges
Expanded possibilities for communication:
- an online 'chat' venue
- special online discussion evenings
- an online course on new technology
- this quarterly newsletter
Teacher education:
- a place to go for follow-up and continuing Internet support
- Forum workshops and the potential for collegiality through interpersonal relations and group membership
- online discussions: structuring use of the Forum and the Internet into classes; research into student thinking
Software development -- Math tools for the Internet
- data management
- commenting/notation
- organizing net info
- news agents
- local archiving
- online help
And perhaps later on...
- electronic texts
- connections with libraries
- multimedia
