Recently I had the great opportunity to visit with Jennifer Suh and Gwenanne Salkind from The Mathematics Education Center (MEC). Thanks to Jim, they came to visit the USU College of Education and the NLVM team prior to presenting on Developing persistent & flexible problem solvers at the annual NCTM meeting in Salt Lake. Jennifer’s presentation on Lesson study using technology tools referenced a number of the NLVM applets and resonated with many of my views about effective use of Virtual Manipulatives. A while back, I modified some of the NLVM applets for use in Jennifer’s dissertation. I look forward to future collaborations.
On a related note, Patricia Moyer-Packenham , the former MEC Director recently accepted a position in the USU College of Education. I’m excited that she will be close by and hope to work with her.
