Maria, The Glossary born on Dec 30 2008, this means 8 days ago.
The layout design, goals and contents have been developed by Wayne Mackintosh and me. So far this is the job of two persons, and I hope more people join us soon (I am working on it). This project needs much more than four hands and two brains :-). We pointed to the list of Global WE initiatives because it is intended to be a common glossary for all current Math developings and the new ones they could appear, in an effort to offer a reusable set of math definitions for every project covering the range (13-18yr, secondary and early terciary levels). I am a private math, chemistry and physics teacher for these levels. So there is no a specific project owning the glossary, that is why we are inviting every math content developer to add their own terms. All the terms so far added come from the published math projects in WE and from well known books every math teacher uses. I am identifying the people behind each project and inviting them to add terms to the glossary and include the corresponding links. Wiki, as a collaborative platform, is a perfect place to allocate the "Examples" part of your projects. As I told you before, I can assist you on this part. I will be following your projects. I really like them. Cheers. Gladys Gahona http://www.wikieducator.org/User:Chela5808 On 6 ene, 05:54, "Maria Droujkova" <[email protected]> wrote: > Ok, here is what I will do.
