Many teachers have found that using technology in the teaching process
helps students grasp complex math and science concepts, as well as increases
their involvement in the subject matter . In particular, handheld graphing
technology with advanced calculation abilities and an oversized viewing
screen, is proving popular and effective with both teachers and students. The more interested
students become in math and science, the more time they spend with these
subjects inside and outside the classroom -- and the more they spend time
learning, the more likely they are to succeed.
The device is a great value because it grows with teens for years with
durable construction, a fully upgradeable operating system, and the
flexibility and memory to add up to 94 educational software applications as
