What is the MathEd.net Wiki?: This is a site designed to bring greater visibility and connectedness to mathematics education research.
Why should I read anything here?: If you're a math teacher, teacher educator, or math education researcher, the knowledge represented here is the knowledge of your profession. Advancing that profession requires, in some part, easy access to that knowledge.
What should I expect here?: At a minimum, this site will document some of the people and literature experienced by one graduate student who is organizing this knowledge as much for himself as anyone else. (One person I showed this to exclaimed, "It's your brain!" In a sense, it is, and like my brain, there are many, many red links that currently don't go anywhere.) At a maximum, this site could fulfill at least some of the needs now served by the NCTM research handbook. There are a lot of possibilities in between.
How you can help: If you have experience with mathematics education research and want to contribute, send me an email at raymond@mathed.net. I think a site like this deserves some purposeful collaboration and editorial control, so I'm not going to open up accounts to the general public. If you're interested in working with me, or have questions, let me know!

-My purpose in creating the MathEd.net Wiki is to bring greater visibility and connectedness to mathematics education research. At the foundation of the wiki will be summaries of research in mathematics education. Topic summaries and researcher profiles can then be built upon those summaries, with the wiki linking ideas, research, and people together. For mathematics education researchers, I hope this wiki can become a useful set of notes and a place to share your work. For mathematics teachers, I hope this wiki can help you ground your practice in more of the knowledge of your profession, and become a launching point for wanting to know more.

-This wiki is starting off as a one-person project. I've had this idea since I began graduate school in 2009, but not until the fall of 2012 did I become invested enough in the technology and structure to have something potentially useful. I've added to the wiki in fits and starts for the past year, and now it's grown to the point I can't see abandoning it. I've read of similar discipline-specific wiki projects that failed due to lack of vision, structure, editorial contributions, and spam. Much more work needs doing before I expect community support, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't like help. If you're well-grounded in mathematics education research and seriously interested in contributing, email me at [mailto:raymond@mathed.net raymond@mathed.net]. For now, I'd like best to work with a small team of people experienced in math education research to take this on as a collaborative design project. As more red links turn blue that will hopefully change.
