About the project Paul Lockhart wrote his "Lament" in 2002, and since then
it's been a focal point for gathering and strengthening threads of meaning
and significance in mathematics education. You can read the original
"Lament" as a PDF document
online<http://www.maa.org/devlin/LockhartsLament.pdf>,
or its expanded version, edited by Keith Devlin, as a paper
book<http://www.amazon.com/Mathematicians-Lament-School-Fascinating-Imaginative/dp/1934137170>

graduated from teacher training in 2002 has been an never ending adventure.
I have lived in 4 different countries since then and have met the love of my
life and we started our family. I wouldn't trade a moment of it, despite
some of the difficulties I have faced. At my website <http://davidwees.com/>,
I showcase projects I have been involved in. I also write articles about
incorporating technology into teaching which is a major passion of mine.

*Richard DeMerchant* writes: I have a passion for mathematics education that
I have carried with me as I worked across the west and northern parts of
Canada. Working as a teacher, vice principal and curriculum developer for
three Ministries of Education I look forward to my next foray back to the
classroom in the fall. I see social media as a tool for continuing my
professional growth. You can check out the latest thoughts on my
