"The Interactive Math Classroom"

     I found this great article from eschoolnews.com about how technology is being used in the math classroom to help students learn and collaborate with each other and the teacher. They are using the  TI-Nspire Navigator system from the company Texas Instruments to help students work with each other on math problems. These calculators can connect to each other and the teacher's computer. I thought this was very interesting because in class we learned about how collaboration helps students learn, and this is exactly what this class in Frankfort, NY is doing. I think these calculators are great. The teachers says her students actually look forward to coming to math class now. I think this is a great idea of how to engage students to actually want to learn. The image of the calculator is from  http://www.calculatorsbest.com/graphingcalculators-c-1_10.html?page=3&sort=products_sort_order.
