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 Goals:
- encourage
and lobby NCTM to keep technology on their “front
burner” in mathematics education.
- participate
in special event sessions and make 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 conferences.
- blog
about new perspectives of technology in math
education
- make
CLIME a learning, social hub for discussing modern
math technology issues.
- encourage
MTBoS folks to
participate in MTBoS activities. For example support
new members of MTBoS by guiding their
participation.
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.
