Blog | Polish and Parents (2010 PI Meeting Reflection)
The two memorable revelations for me of the 2010 DR K-12 PI meeting were the exceptionally polished software products on display and the lack of discussion about parental responsibility for learning. Speaking as a software developer, the quality of the software products was an awakening in that projects are no longer content to create materials that are not commercial production quality.…

What is so difficult about building relationships to bridge this divide? Teachers and administrators have demanding schedules and responsibilities, so it is hard for schools to take the time and energy to work with…

Blog | Are We Throwing Out the Baby with the Bath Water? (2010 PI Meeting Reflection)
Shortly after my 10th birthday, Neil Armstrong took “one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” This was a short 11 years after the creation of NASA, which was just one of the political-technical reactions to the successful Soviet launch of the first Earth satellite, Sputnik 1. How were these brilliant American and Russian scientists and engineers educated in the mathematical sciences?…
