Join the ICTM Tech Discussion Hour on March 9
Given all the recent publicity about AI (e.g., ChatGPT) as well as tools like Photomath and Mathway, ICTM is hosting an evening dialogue about the use of these types of technologies in the teaching and learning of mathematics. This will not be a presentation, but rather an opportunity to build a community and promote discussion about effective and appropriate use of technology in the teaching and learning of mathematics. Everyone is welcome, regardless of experience and perspective about technology.  The discussion will be on Thursday, March 9, from 7:00 - 8:00. Attendees are eligible for 1 hour of IL PD credit. You can register for this free event HERE.
