Research on Graphing Calculators

Ideally I would like to research about Texas Instruments new TI Navigator system (connects students graphing calculators wirelessly to a classroom computer).  However, the only research I have found is either from the Texas Instruments website (which is probably a little biased) or from the EdIT Lib (Education and Instructional Technology Library) website which I do not have access to (even using USU’s VPN).  I have contacted USU’s library about an interlibrary loan and am waiting for a response.Click here to read more »

Becky's Goals for MEd

Albert Einstein said, "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them."  Therefore, I believe educators need to use inventive thinking to create solutions for learning deficiencies, differentiated instruction, and to produce students that can be competitive in the global market.  I believe technology is that solution.  Teaching through technology is the future of education and I want to be able to provide my students every opportunity for success.
