I hadn't thought of that; I was looking at it more as an informal talk to let people know about this alternative. A couple of years ago, maybe three, they had David Bressoud (past president of MAA) talk about AP Calculus & college Calculus. > You can point out that the MAA is > funding summer workshops on both Sage and Geogebra this summer. > In fact, if you know your way around Geogebra and one or two other > things, you might get a better reception making it about open source > solutions in general (maybe show typical things one can do, including > interacts and Geogebra applet export) rather than seeming to > advocate one solution in general. Good luck! I haven't even *looked* at Geogebra before, and I don't know if I'll have a chance to get properly acquainted with it. I shouldn't give a talk on a piece of technology unless I use it pretty regularly in my work, otherwise Bad Things Happen (TM). If someone else were attending the reading and knew Geogebra, we could do a dual talk, but right now I can't swear to it, so I can't approach them with that in mind. > Wow, cool, this is a great idea.

Beats nothing, anyway. ;-) A bit exhausting for a week's work though. john -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-edu" group.
