Math Literacy Motivators and “Cool Tools”

Integrating SMART Boards, TI Graphing Calculator Emulators and Other Exciting Technologies into the Mathematics 7-12 Classroom

Participants will be shown all features of the SMART Notebook software, including the new Math Software, and how to utilize the software creatively in their math courses. New, intermediate, and advanced users are welcome to attend. Participants will also see how to incorporate the TI-SmartView emulator for the 83/84+ graphing calculators and the emulator for TI-Nspire graphing calculators. Learn how to post your daily class notes online as colorful pdf’s and how to record your actual class presentations as SMART videos to use when you are absent. Other technologies will be displayed as time permits. Each participant will receive a CD full of activities and ideas to use in his/her math classroom.
