Workshop outline and Schedule:Drawing on a repository of components from the Escot project this workshop will introduce teachers and others invoved in math education at the secondary level to Java based technologies for creating interactive web applets for math education. While the Escot repository encompasses three major components, JavaSketchpad, SimCalc (or MathWorlds) and AgentSheets this workshop will focus on the use of one of them: JavaSketchpad. JavaSketchpad is a companion to Geometer's Sketchpad that allows educators and students to take simulations developed in Geometer's Sketchpad and convert them into applets. The history of the CECM's involvement with Java components for math education includes two major initiatives: the Centre's participation with Island Pacific School in a middle school geometrical transformations unit and the Centre's recent association with the ESCOT group based at SRI in the states. The structure of this workshop follows ESCOT's "integration team" model for software development. IPS Experience: using javabeans to create a suite of learning activities for geometrical transformations; working with students to create their own games, activities, and learning resources. http://wayback.cecm.sfu.ca/~sinclair/Transformations/
