I wanted a way to find and access all of the research and practice on mathematics education without needing a research university account or 4 different professional association accounts or subscriptions to 4 journal publishing companies.
Since I am currently in a position with the focus on mathematics education research, I wanted to find a way to make the wealth of research and practice documented more accessible to those who are not researchers. I wanted to make it accessible in the retrieving content respect, but also accessible in the comprehension respect.
I don’t want to read the ten citations in the beginning of a paper to begin how to understand how they operationalized the words “learning” or “teaching” or “curriculum” over the last 30 years of their career. I want information provided in a way that you can take your understandings to the ideas.
With that said, I have a significant appreciation for that work, so I also wanted to connect the depth of the topics and articles in a way that could be linked (literally) if a reader wanted to know more about how these ideas came into being.
I am migrating what I started in version one to a proper wiki site and domain name.
