Re: [xmca] Introduction & math ed. resources

Cathrene,

Thank you very much for the welcome - hopefully Carol, who sits right across
the hall, and I will get going on collaboration soon, once the dust has
settled from the semester ;^)...

Also, in regard to Vygotskian perspectives on math, I'd recommend a skim of
the following chapters in Koschmann, T, Hall, R.P., & Miyake, N. (2005).
CSCL 2: Carrying Forward the Conversation:

D.W. Shaffer, Design, Collaboration, and Computation: The Design Studio as a
Model for Computer-Supported Collaboration in Mathematics.

H. Suzuki, H. Kato, Identity Formation/Transformation as a Process of
Collaborative Learning of Programming Using AlgoArena.

V. Colella, Participatory Simulations: Building Collaborative Understanding
Through Immersive Dynamic Modeling.
