CALL FOR PAPERS AND WORKSHOPS

We are announcing I2GEO 2010 in Hluboká nad Vltavou (Czech Republic), a conference that will enable the Interactive Geometry community to gather, share and enrich content for mathematics education. We invite all people interested in interactive (or dynamic) geometry, teachers, researchers and technology providers, to join us for this exciting event.

I2GEO 2010 will take place immediately after CADGME 2010, the Conference on Computer Algebra and Dynamic Geometry in Mathematics Education. You find more info about CADGME at its conference website http://www.pf.jcu.cz/cadgme2010 .

A declared goal of the Intergeo Project was to enable the mathematics education community – teachers, researchers and learners – to take over the project and to self-sustain it. This conference and the associated proceedings are one building block of this goal.

Conference Topics
=================

The conference will be arranged around three important themes of Interoperable Interactive Geometry: Structural Aspects, Technology, and Quality Assessment. This includes, but is not restricted to, contributions to the following fields. All contributions are eligible for the Best Paper Award.

Each of the sections will include a keynote presentation by a member of the Intergeo project. 

Structural Aspects
Keynote: Paul Libbrecht & Colette Laborde

* Ontologies for Mathematics Education
* Formalization of Curricula
* Cross-Cultural Aspects of Mathematics Education
* Classification by Topics vs. Classification by Competencies
* Searching and Organizing Mathematical Content
* Metadata for Mathematical Resources and Activitites
* Knowledge Management in Mathematics Education

Technology
Keynote: Yves Kreis & Ulrich Kortenkamp

* Formal Descriptions of Constructions, Exercises and other Digital Content in Mathematics
* Data Exchange in Mathematics and Mathematics Education
* Comparison of Interactive Geometry Tools
* Mathematics Education and Social Networks/Web 2.0
* Integration of Digital Content in the Classroom
* Innovative Uses of ICT in Teaching Mathematics

Quality Assessment
Keynote: Christian Mercat & Tomas Recio

* Quality Criteria for Interactive Mathematics Content
* Standards for Quality Assessment of Educational Content
* Best Practices and Case Studies on Using Interactive Geometry in the Classroom
* Identification of Critical Features of Electronic Content that Create Added Value
* Teacher Education and Life-Long Learning
* Educational Research based on the Quality Framework of Intergeo 

Content submissions

As a fourth topic we also invite contributions to the Intergeo platform http://i2geo.net. All interactive content submitted can be submitted as a Content Contribution and is eligible for the Best Content Award.

Conference Proceedings
======================

Online Proceedings

The proceedings of the conference will be available online. All papers will be peer-reviewed.

Journal Issue (ZDM)

In addition to the online proceedings of the conference there will also be a special issue of the ZDM - The International Journal of Mathematics Education, edited by Colette Laborde, IMAG, and Ulrich Kortenkamp, PH Karlsruhe/CERMAT. This ZDM issue will contain selected high-quality papers from the conference and invited papers by internationally known experts in the field. All papers will be refereed according to the rules of ZDM.
