GeoGebra Institute:2011 Annual Report GI Madrid
People
The GeoGebra Institute of Madrid (Instituto Geogebra de Madrid, IGM) is a joint venture between
- the Cátedra Miguel de Guzmán of the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM), and
- the Centro Regional de Innovación y Formación "Las Acacias" of the teacher training network of the Community of Madrid.
The Cátedra Miguel de Guzmán was created on September 26th, 2007 by the iniciative of the Faculty of Mathematics of UCM, in the frame of the Fundación General of the Universidad Complutense de Madrid. The aim of the "Cátedra Miguel de Guzmán" is to analyse the problems and perspectives involved in the study of Mathematics Education (analysis, research, teaching), in Spain and on an international level.
The Regional Center of Innovation and Training (CRIF) "Las Acacias", created in July, 2008 is a training center whose scope is the Community of Madrid. The objectives of the CRIF are the design, management and delivery of teacher training, which will be directed to teachers. The CRIF also encourages innovation in teaching activities in the pre-college education.
GeoGebra Institute of Madrid (IGM) collaborates in joint activities with other institutions. In this sense, IGM is considered a Patronage formed by:
- Fundación General de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid.
- Centro Regional de Innovación y Formación "Las Acacias" (Comunidad de Madrid).
- Sociedad Madrileña de Profesores de Matemáticas (SMPM) "Emma Castelnuovo"
- Sociedad "Puig Adam" de profesores de matemáticas.
