The Seventeenth ICMI Study: Technology Revisited
Digital technologies and mathematics teaching and learning: Rethinking 
the terrain

The 17th ICMI Study will be concerned with the use of digital 
technologies in mathematics teaching and learning in countries across 
the world. In particular it will focus on:
•	cultural diversity and how this diversity impinges on the use of 
digital technologies in mathematics teaching and learning particularly 
in developing countries.
•	a set of themes to serve as the organising framework: Mathematics and 
mathematical practices; Learning and assessing mathematics with and 
through digital technologies; Teachers and teaching; Design of learning 
environments and curricula; Implementation of curricula and classroom 
practice; Access, equity and socio-cultural issues; Connectivity and 
virtual networks for learning.
The Discussion Document for the Study can be downloaded from the webpage
  http://www.math.msu.edu/~nathsinc/ICMI/
The Study Conference will take place 3-6 December 2006 and will be 
hosted by the Hanoi Institute of Technology. As is the normal practice 
for ICMI studies, participation in the Study conference will be by 
invitation only, given on the basis of a written proposal of a 
contribution (6-8 pages, in English). Details about the proposals are 
on the same webpage.
The proposal should be submitted electronically at
http://www.math.msu.edu/~nathsinc/ICMI/
Date of submission: no later than January 15, 2006.
Submissions will be reviewed and decisions about invitation to the 
Conference will be sent by the middle of May, 2006.
The Study Book that will follow from ICMI Study 17 will be published in 
the ICMI Study Series. The volume will be informed by the papers and 
the discussions at the Study Conference as well as its outcomes. A 
report on the Study and its outcomes will also be presented at the 11th 
International Congress on Mathematical Education to be held in Mexico 
in 2008.

The 17th ICMI Study is co-chaired by Celia Hoyles and Jean-Baptiste 
Lagrange.
