Pat Daley was a participant in the Geometry Forum's 1994 Summer Institute, Geometry and the Internet., and her students have been frequent participants in the Math Forum's Geometry Problem of the Week. She returns this summer as a recent recipient of the Presidential Award for Connecticut in secondary mathematics, awarded in May 1996 in Washington, DC. Pat's experience with telecommunications and computers in the classroom includes the following courses and activities:

• Selected one of 52 Governor's Fellows for the AT&T Teachers & Technology Institute (July, 1995). This two-week institute grouped teachers from 26 states into learning circles. The circles involved their students in internet projects during the past school year. Pat's students did an economics project and collected data from the eight other schools in her circle.

• Fairfield University, spring, 1995.
  Sixth Year Certificate of Advanced Study in Computers in Education. Final project involved writing computer labs for calculus.

• Swarthmore College, summer, 1994
  Participated in an NSF-sponsored workshop at the Geometry Forum using the Internet in the high school classroom.

• Taught workshops for secondary mathematics teachers (summer, 1991-present) using graphing calculators, the Geometer's Sketchpad, and the Internet through the following organizations: ACES (Hamden CT), Fairfield University (Fairfield CT), Project Learn (East Lyme CT), Project Share (Madison CT), Project Smartnet (Fairfield CT), Westhampton Beach Teacher Center (Westhampton Beach NY), State Department of Education (CT).

Pat envisages developing an accumulation of data collections that could be used in diverse statistical analyses, a project that would serve as a resource to enhance the usefulness of the Internet in schools and math classrooms.
