Most mathematics teachers have developed a few favorite mathematics activities that are effective in teaching. Taken together, these activities should serve as a vast resource for all teachers of mathematics if they could be furnished in an easily accessible manner. For many activities, turning the activity into a Java applet that can be posted on the Internet is a way to make these activities more accessible. With the help of a National Science Foundation Grant (DUE-9950714), the Mathematical Java-Beans project at Emporia State University is developing tools to make this process easier.

Outstanding Teacher

During the summer of 1987, the first part of a National Science Foundation honors workshop for secondary school mathematics teachers was conducted at the Pennsylvania State University at Harrisburg. The objective of the workshop was to introduce select· ed teachers to the concepts and techniques of mathematical modeling and to encourage and aid them in actually preparing modeling exercises for incorporation into their classroom teaching. Through a system of planned networking, their experiences are shared with colleagues in the region. The thirty-five participants from the southcentral Pennsylvania region were selected on the basis of outstanding teacher nominations by their school districts.

Remarks at the opening of a workshop, sponsored by the U.S. National Science Foundation, and held in Oslo, Norway, from 12-13 May 2015, to discuss the historic place names of the High Arctic archipelago of Franz Josef Land. The visiting students from Penn State University, none of whom had ever before been to Europe, were anxious to hear how Dr. Barr, a native of the United Kingdom, had come to Norway and made a life for herself in a different country with a different language, as a female in a then-largely male universe of polar research, and, in a nation of hunters, as a vegetarian.
