Help with TI-nspire
Recently my district purchased ten TI-nspire graphing calculators. I attended a workshop on how to use these calculators, which was beneficial in learning how to navigate the features of the calculator itself. The Texas Instruments website offers many wonderful activities that I cannot make use of due to an inability to download them. We have contacted Texas Instruments directly for training (to no avail), and purchased the TI-nspire for Dummies book. I am not sure what I am doing wrong, so I am looking to converse with anyone who can offer some input that will allow me to utilize the TI-nspire in an innovative way in my classroom.

Hi Elizabeth,
ReplyDeleteWe also purchsed TI-Nspire Calculators too. We have been so overwhelmed with our the introduction of our New Tech Curriculum that we have not been able to take advantage of our TI-Nspires as we would like. I do however have a connection to someone that is well versed in the TI-Nspires to the point that he gives demonstrations and presentations to teachers on incorporating the TI-Nspire into the classroom. His name is Sean Bird and he really has a lot to offer. Here's a link to his website: http://covenantchristian.org/bird/TTT.htm
Thank you for the connection. I will contact him and hopefully we can start utilizing our TI-Nspires.

Hi, Liz.
ReplyDeleteHave you done any Internet searches to find others who have similar frustrations? It looks like there is a good connection by another follower above, but I'm wondering if there are others out there who can help you. I wish I was a math teacher and had opportunities or contacts to share with you! I know how frustrating it is when you get new materials and little or no training. Bless your heart.
