Do you have any thoughts on the <a href="http://www.techpoweredmath.com/texas-instruments-announces-color-ti-nspire-cx/" rel="nofollow">TI-Nspire CX</a>? That's going to boost the cost even a few dollars more, but very cool, nonetheless.Lukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09876086428996421528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10220498.post-78275982559590795262011-03-02T16:25:57.365-06:002011-03-02T16:25:57.365-06:00Hello Ms. Cookie,

I found your blog while researching education jobs. I'm writing a specific one about high school professors at the moment. I was wondering if you would be able to answer a few quick questions about your experience in this area to help with the article? We can conduct the interview over the phone or via email. Can you let me know if you are interested?<br /><br />I look forward to hearing from you.

I mostly see the value in the TI-nspire as an exploration device to be done/used in class. This will be another way for the kids to garner a deeper understanding of the math (to be then done with paper/pencil or with OTHER calculators at home) .... and YES very pricey, so I guess I'm going to get my feet wet in the grant writing arena.Shireen Dadmehrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16282965851939089408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10220498.post-55985391098678129412011-02-27T16:21:31.050-06:002011-02-27T16:21:31.050-06:00Class sets are nice but what do you do when they w...Class sets are nice but what do you do when they want to take them home for homework? Next you have the disparity between those who buy them and have them at the fingertips all the time versus the kids who only have them in class? Or get enough for everyone in all of you classes to have one and you have to work some kind of deposit system, only some kids parents don't want to write a check for a deposit. <br /><br />I love the technology but it does seem to add a huge cost to your budget. This is my experience with the ti83's we have been using for the last 7-8 years. We have a course based around them but not enough to go around so they are only used in class, by the students who can't afford their own. Disparity abounds.<br /><br />If they school district were willing to treat them like texts, where they pay for the class sets and then the replacements each year, I would be much happier. But they don't, so I am not.Fall Garlichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08006415415564057894noreply@blogger.com
