Workshop #1: TI-Nspire
– New Handheld Technology and Software from TI Nancy
Schick and Steve Oullette
Cost: $20 Members $40
Non-Members (SPECIAL RATE)
Description: This
workshop will be divided into two components. The first part of the program
will be a presentation by Nancy Nichols, the TI E.T.C. for our region. She will
discuss the new TI-Nspire system and how TI plans to introduce it into the
market over the next year. Nancy’s presentation will be followed by Steve
Oullette who is a regional trainer for TI and who has received special training
in the use of the new TI-Nspire. Steve is also a frequent writer of TI Activities
for the Navigator and the TV Series “Numbers.” Steve’s component “is intended to
introduce participants to the TI-Nspire handheld device. Participants will
learn how to work with each of Nspire’s four applications – Calculator, Graphs
& Geometry, Lists & Spreadsheets, and Notes – with a focus on
recognizing how the document structure of TI-Nspire can link variables and
create valuable connections via multiple representations. Emphasis will also be
placed on finding ways to use TI-Nspire to support and enhance the curriculum.”
Upon completion of the
program, participants will receive information from Nancy that will allow them
to purchase a package that included the TI-Nspire handheld system and the
software program for an approximate 40% discount.
This is a must program for department heads as they
prepare for the impact of this technology into the mathematics market.
