Overview
Conference participants will be able to choose between
two main tracks for the weekend, depending on individual interests
and personal conference goals/expectations. Track 1
will feature three Working Groups that will meet
for five sessions, during which time a Working Group Chair will assist
in facilitating the sharing of recent research/ideas surrounding the
designated theme. Each Working Group will produce a short chapter
for the CCADGME Conference online proceedings, to be organized/submitted
by the Chairs. Track 2 will be less academic in nature,
and will feature a series of Technology Workshops
hosted by leading experts in CAS-based and dynamic geometry software
applications. All participants will be able to attend Keynote Addresses,
common lunch/refreshment breaks, and the Saturday evening banquet.
We hope this dual track approach will make the conference more meaningful
for all.
Tentative "Track 1" (Working Groups) Schedule
