Clime Story 1988-2012

Inspired by Seymour
              Papert's notion of a computer as an object to think with
              CLIME has over the past 23 years explored many venues of
              computers helping students engage in mathematical
              "play". Here's a quick chronology of the
              organization's initiatives. See Gary Stager’s continuing
              tribute to Seymour. 1986 At the NCTM meeting in
              Washington, John Van de Walle led a meeting of educators
              who were interested in using Logo in the the teaching of
              mathematics. Approximately 125 people came to the meeting
              and the decision was made to create an organization of
              Logo-using math educators. 1987 The group was officially
              formed and was named the Council for Logo in Mathematics
              Education or CLIME for short. Ihor Charischak became the
              committee chairperson. The CLIME newsletter was born.
              Rheinhold Wappler becomes CLIME's first editor. CLIME
              begins holding annual meetings during the annual NCTM
              meeting. 1988 CLIME becomes affiliated with NCTM and is
              the only affiliate with a technology oriented theme. 1992
              CLIME became concerned with the lack of visibility of
              technology at the annual meetings. A successful resolution
              was proposed to the delegate assembly of NCTM to create a
              technology advisory group to look into this matter. The
              upshot was a technology task force that revised the NCTM
              position statements on technology and calculators. This
              group met once again and after the papers were completed,
              never met again. No advisory group was ever formed. At
              least not as a result of CLIME's lobbying. 1994 Lew
              Romagnano becomes president of CLIME. CLIME changes its
              name to Council for Logo and Technology in Mathematics
              Education to reflect new software developments especially
              Geometer's Sketchpad. The name of the acronym however
              remains the same (L is not changed to T) in honor of the
              Logo movement and Seymour Papert that inspired so many of
              us. 1995 CLIME meeting in Boston - 1995 1996 The CLIME
              newsletter goes electronic and is renamed CLIME
              Connections. A Website is considered. Clime's 10th
              anniversary Meeting in San Diego - 1996. Highlight - Read
              Daryl Sternom's Internet Trailer report. I’m sorry I
              didn’t take any pictures in 1996. Here’s a clip of Daryl
              sharing about the event at the 2010 San Diego NCTM
              Conference. 1997 CLIME makes it to prime time! We are
              invited to host a session as part of the regular program
              in Minneapolis. The CLIME website is born with the help of
              the folks at the Math Forum. CLIME does one more name
              change: the Council for Technology in Mathematics
              Education. Though Logo is dropped from the name, its
              spirit lives on. It just means that Logo has a lot of good
              company on the software shelf these days. Clime
