Seminar Day

The conversations of the day were mostly about family and friends in Christchurch. One of the mathematics educators at Massey left last night for Christchurch as part of a search and rescue team. The rest of the mathematics educators attended my seminar this morning.

Giving a seminar on one’s university, faculty, and the wider mathematics teacher education community in Canada really makes one realize how much there is (yet) to know. The group was quite gracious in accepting “hmmm, that’s a good question, I’m not sure about that…” as we engaged in interesting discussions about our programs and ‘papers’ (Note: paper (NZ) = course (CA)).

The group joked with me about needing a signed consent form before I could post this picture of them on my blog… they were joking, weren’t they? (hmmm, that’s a good question, I’m not sure about that…)

I assured them that the six people who are diligently reading my blog would not spread the photo around. :-)
