Pennsylvania) as part of Relatorium seminar\n\n\nAbstrac t\nI have been advising two students\, Tomas Nepala and Tunga Bayrak\, who have created MotionShark\, which is a software that generates video expla nations of mathematical problems. This type of technology prompts signific ant questions about the future role of mathematics educators and the evolu tion of teaching methods. \n\nAfter Tomas and Tunga exhibit the current ca pabilities of their evolving technology\, I will give a presentation on so me challenges that I think the mathematics education community must brace itself for in the wake of this type of technology. Navigating such challen ges requires an active input of mathematicians and this talk is meant to s tart that conversation at an international level. I will share my vision o n how to integrate this type of technology into lower-level mathematics cl asses in healthy ways\, and how I see the scope of such classes adapting a nd evolving in a future where I argue the context of mathematics will beco me more important to teach than actual methods of problem solving. \n\nMy goal is to start this conversation that will hopefully keep going offline after the talk has ended\, since we as a community ought to better underst and in a timely manner the directions in which mathematics education will change in the wake of this and similar technologies in near future. \nThe talk will be moderated by Daniel Filonik who is a postdoc at Carnegie Mell on University (CMU) and foreign guest researcher at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Daniel specializes in data visualizat ion and human computer interaction. His current work is focused on natural interfaces for interactive data modeling and analysis with formal foundat ions in category theory.\n LOCATION:https://researchseminars.org/talk/CompMath/2/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
