Who is CLIME and why isn't it CTIME? Source: http://clime.org CLIME is the Council for Technology in Math Education which is an affiliate group of NCTM and has been since 1988. Its mission is to support the effective use of technology in the teaching of mathematics. CLIME members: encourage and lobby NCTM to keep technology on their “front burner” in mathematics education. participate in special event sessions and makes presentations at NCTM's annual meetings on technology & math related themes. support a technology-focus website (http://clime.org) for the sessions at annual NCTM meetings. CLIME: is not CTIME because we started out in 1987 as the Council for LOGO in Mathematics Education and our founding and affiliation with NCTM (in 1988) was inspired by the work of Seymour Papert whose ideas continue to resonate for so many of us. As a result, we keep the original acronym as an acknowledgement of his guiding spirit.
