> Abstract
> 
> Since 1997, the Ministry of Education in Mexico has been 
> sponsoring a national project (EMAT) aimed at incorporating 
> computational technologies to the mathematical curriculum. 
> Spreadsheets, Cabri-G=E9om=E8tre, SimcCalc-MathWorlds, Stella 
> and the TI-92 calculator were researched with nearly 90 
> teachers and 10000 students at the secondary school level. 
> The project was groundbreaking in changing the role of the 
> teacher and the traditional passive attitude of children 
> and opened the door for richer ways of incorporating 
> technology in schools. A new research phase is now underway 
> which aims at giving students more expressive power through 
> Logo programming activities.

> Keywords: Technology in schools, mathematics with 
> technology, curriculum changes, national educational
