Membership
If you are interested in the intersection of Chaos and Complexity theories and Education the SIG would like to solicit your membership. It's easy, it's cheap, and it will bring you into conversation with an interesting and vigorous group of people. It's easy: Just jump to one of our membership pages. From the html page you can print out the plain html version of the membership form (conveniently placed on its own page) from your browser which you then send to our president. Or you can download a handsome pdf version of the membership form which folds up neatly into a pre-addressed trifold for easy mailing. It's cheap: And you get a lot for it! Aside from pleasant and dedicated company, for a small investment of $5 US, you can receive your very own copy of the newsletter with its SIG news, opportunities and pointers to resources in the field. Chaos and complexity theories are exciting new ways of thinking about educational problems and SIG membership will both keep you on top of the latest developments in theory and will point you toward some of the most exciting applications in practice. SIG membership also carries easy access to the SIG email list, ChaoPlex, this web site, and early reviews and information on SIG activities at AERA.
ChaoPlex, the Email Discussion List
ChaoPlex, aka "Chaos and Complexity and Learning," is located at Washington State University under the able leadership of Barbara Sitko. It is an unmoderated, meaning open and uncensored, list serving the SIG and the broader community interested in the intersection of complexity and education. To subscribe: Send an email message to: listproc@listproc.wsu.edu containing a one line message in the form: subscribe chaoplex <your name>. You will receive an automatic confirmation note and further information. Send postings to: chaoplex@listproc.wsu.edu. Netiquette and common practice on the list call for each new member to send a short self-description of themselves and their interest in this area early in their membership.
