FP71 Real Data Leads to Real Learning Jane E. Damaske

TI-Navigator combined with the TI-73 Explorer calculator give middle-school educators the ability to share real, student-generated data with their classes. When students examine numerical data, find graphical/symbolic models, discuss and make predictions, they think at a higher level and exhibit a deeper understanding of the mathematics being taught. Using the classroom networked system of TI-Navigator and the TI-73 calculator, students can explore and discover mathematical concepts with the security that total anonymity provides. This session will provide you an experience with TI-Navigator as a student, and you will receive classroom ready materials to use with your middle-school students. Participants in this three-hour session will be eligible

to purchase the new TI-nspire handheld and computer

software at a reduced price of $140.

FP72 Internet Awareness and SafetyCUE Lead Learner

New two-way technologies such as blogs, MySpace, or YouTube offer powerful new opportunities for learning, but like many new technologies these can also be abused. There are serious concerns that educators, parents, and students must recognize. There are also simple proactive strategies to reduce the risks. By working together, schools, police departments, and communities can help keep students safe online while still allowing (and encouraging) responsible and ethical use of these powerful new online tools. (90 minutes presentation and discussion, 90 minutes hands-on)
