Being able to offer you a chance to win tech tools delights me & Texas Instruments TI-Nspire CX Graphing Calculator is one very cool school tool! I recently attended a great Texas Instruments event at Blogher12 & got hands on time with the innovative, feature rich, TI-Nspire. This device sports a 320 x 240 pixel bright, color back lit display, in a thin, sleek design. Nspire comes equipped with it’s own rechargeable battery. The software bundle included with this unit allows the student to transfer work from the device to a PC or Mac so assignments can be completed literally from anywhere.

Of Special Interest to Educators
The Nspire can also be equipped with a special USB WiFi hat via the TI-Nspire™ Navigator™ System. My breakfast group at Blogher was able to engage in interactive learning & collaborative activity, that demonstrated the teacher’s ability to quickly assign a problem, assess students as they worked it through & assist students who were struggling. And yes, I did stick the EasyTemp temperature sensor probe into my coffee:)
Texas Instruments is also running a contest over on their Facebook page, you could win great TI Tech gear for your classroom & a visit from The Big Bang Theory star Mayem Bialik.

Hey there, Jean!
I am STILL brushing off all of the cupcake crumbs from meeting you in the foyer lounge at the Hilton NYC at BlogHer ’12. You’ll be glad to know I took EVERY bit of advice you were kind enough to share about my web site and am looking forward to the re-launch.
Now, about this great contest you and the leader in calculators since I was taking Chemistry in the 1970s, Texas Instruments, are running. Read every word of your post on the latest and greatest “TI-Nspire CX Graphing Calculator Bundle ARV” and it’s impressive. Having the screen back lit and the capability to add photos, along with chemistry notations hits the spot. My son is a chemistry/math/science guru who would just LOVE this calculator. He’s sitting here with me now, having watched the video, and is drooling.
Thanks for the opportunity to enter the contest. “Tech” is your middle name! Fondly, Robin

Why wasn’t this around when I was in High School? Oh well, at least I know a good amount of people who could use this (myself included).
My brother (who I’d be trying to get this for by the by) is a huge fan of science and the like, and he struggles getting behind math. The way I figure it, if I could get him something like this that will give him a more entertaining way to engage in maths it’ll help him out.
My son loves science (and technology).
My son loves both!
My Grandson, who is a Senior in High School this year, loves Math! He’s headed for college next year on a Scholastic scholarship to study to be an Actuary! He would sure love me if I gifted him this tool! :)
