I usually work with "families" as basic units of research and development, or maybe "a group of friends consisting of several families" - in other words, very small and very local communities. My ideal for mathematics materials are "living books" easily customizable BY EACH FAMILY using them. Right now, you can choose AMONG books, but that's not nearly enough customization. I know families who use literally hundreds of books to put a math course together for a kid, sometimes pulling just one or two ideas out of that one. This is a problem for everybody, because money, time and other resources are being wasted. I would like to see much more "atomizing" and customizing in materials. -- Cheers, MariaD I write, 'In the beginning was the Deed!' - Goethe, Faust naturalmath.com: a sketch of a social math site groups.google.com/group/naturalmath: a mailing list about math maker activities --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "WikiEducator" group.
