>Dear colleagues,

>I should like to draw your attention to a Working Group on "The Use of
>Technology in Mathematics Education (Computers, Calculators, IT Media)" at
>the International Congress on Mathematics Education (ICME 9) in Japan,
>August 2000. The Working Group will organize its work in various subgroups,
>and if there is enough interest I think we will be able to create a
>subgroup on the use of technology in probability and statistics education.
>
>I am enclosing a call for contributions below. If you are interested to
>contribute, please let me know.

>CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS
>
>The International Program Committee (IPC) for ICME-9 has established WGA11
>and invited us, Rolf Biehler of Germany and Barry Kissane of Australia, to
>serve as Co-Chief Organizers of this Working Group. This is a call for
>those interested in the relevant aspects of the use of technology in
>mathematics education to contact us with a view to contributing to the
>activities of the WGA.
>
>The WGA will cover a wide territory, so that we intend to form special
>interest groups when the needs, interests and possible contributions of
>those attending are clearer to us. In particular, we expect the WGA to
>cover a range of levels of education (primary (elementary), secondary
>(high), post-secondary, teacher education), to involve various kinds of
>technology (calculators, computers, telecommunications, WWW and multimedia)
>and to focus attention on various aspects of mathematics itself (number,
>space, algebra, statistics, probability, calculus, modelling, etc).
>
>Please contact us if you would like to make a contribution to the work of
>the WGA. We would like to know what kind of contribution you could offer
>(such as a report on a project, reflections on present and future
>developments, identification of curriculum development issues, principles
>of instructional design, in-depth empirical studies, etc.) Please also
>identify the level(s) of education, the kinds of technology and the
>mathematical aspects of your possible contribution. A short abstract of up
>to twenty lines would be helpful. However, you could also express your
>interest in the WGA and leave it open whether you will make a contribution.
>
>We would also be interested in your advice on aspects of technology which
>ought to be addressed in the WGA, but which do not fit into the
>classifications suggested here.
>
>Further detailed elaboration of the scope and direction of the WGA can be
>obtained from the following website up to the date of the Congress:

>If you don't have access to the WWW, please send a note and we can send you
>the detailed information by email or regular mail. We hope that you will
>consider making a contribution to the work of WGA11 and look forward to
>hearing from you soon. Please contact us directly, preferably by email to
>both of us if possible.
>
>Please circulate this Call for Contributions to those colleagues of yours
>who may be interested in WGA11.
