Our annual conference ended last Friday and we enjoyed three outstanding evening talks for which I like to provide some links. The Sunday evening speaker was William Dunham of Muhlenberg College who spoke on proofs of Heron's Formula for the area of a triangle. Dr. Dunham is a popular author of books on the history of mathematics. The Monday evening speaker was Bruce Dixon, founder of the Anytime, Anywhere Learning Foundation. Mr. Dixon has long been an advocate of 1:1 computing in schools. And, on Wednesday, Dan Meyer, a doctoral student at Stanford University and proponent of digital media in education, spoke to the group. Dan maintains a very active and well-followed blog. You can also follow him on Twitter at @ddmeyer.
In addition to the outstanding courses we provide during the week, we have always prided ourselves in our evening speaker series and this year was nothing short of fantastic. Please consider attending the 30th conference next June. The dates of the conference are June 22-27, 2014. While our website remains active all year, new courses and registration materials will be available by January 15, 2014.
