Global Math Department - Math conferences

It has been a crazy first week.  I keep having ideas about what to blog about, but I keep storing it away in my Evernote since I just couldn't find the time.

So this is just a quick post -- more will be coming this weekend about the details of my first week, and I am excited to share a lot of interesting stuff!

Megan Hayes-Golding has taken the lead on this very awesome Global Math Department.  I only heard about it earlier this week, and was fortunate enough to immediately sign up for the conference on Tuesday talking about Geogebra scripting.  I use geogebra for functioning, geometry, and general overlaying-pictures-then-do-cool-math-things-with-it, but I have never tried the scripting function.  I was unable to completely follow the examples that were given at the conference using big marker, but it was definitely a valuable experience that opened my eyes to possibilities.

If you are reading this then you're probably interested in math education!  Go on to the big marker site and sign up for some of the conference!  The next one coming up is described as the following:

Lisa Henry will lead a panel of presenters who will share their favorite review games. Presenters include Lisa Henry (An Old Math Dog Learning New Tricks, @lmhenry9), Kim Hughey (Math Tales from the Spring), Julie Reulbach (I Speak Math, @jreulbach), Alisan Royster (@G8rAli), Remi Smith (The Math Smith, @reminoodle), and Sue VanHattum (Math Mama Writes, @suevanhattum).

RSVP in advance or show up on Tuesday (9pm ET) at https://www.bigmarker.com/globalmathdept/sept4
