The Power of TI-Nspire Technology – 3D and Data Collection
I served as a panelist for a recent T3 professional development webinar entitled Innovative Class Projects with TI-Nspire™ Technology, where I discussed using sensor-based data collection outdoors to promote biological and environmental awareness among students. In the past I have felt like a voice in the wilderness, but several comments during my portion of the webinar inspired me to get more information out about activities that use TI-Nspire handhelds and Vernier sensors in the field. During the webinar, my co-panelist Steve Phelps shared examples of how he has used TI-Nspire and 3D printing to enhance students’ spatial reasoning skills. I learned so much seeing what math is doing with 3D printing, that I can see a potential future workshop on using 3D printing to teach…
