Workshop Overview

Biology educators who are just beginning to use TI-Nspire™ technology, or want to learn more to drive student success on the Biology EOC exam, will learn the basics of teaching with the TI-Nspire™ CX handheld and TI-Nspire™ Teacher Software. A focus of the workshop will be how to help students better understand topics on the Biology EOC exam.

This workshop immerses Biology teachers in hands-on explorations that demonstrate effective classroom use of technology covering a variety of topics across the Biology curriculum. Investigate simulations using TI-Nspire™ documents from Science Nspired, and learn to use the Vernier DataQuest™ application for TI-Nspire™ technology and TI-Nspire™ Lab Cradle to identify patterns for modeling and predicting science phenomena.

During this workshop, participants will explore the following topics:

Day 1

• Overview of the TI-Nspire™ CX handheld, including data collection and analysis with the Vernier EasyTemp® USB temperature sensor and Calculator-Based Ranger 2™ (CBR 2™) motion sensor
• Exploration of interactive simulations using Science Nspired lessons that are related to Biology EOC Exam topics in Biology
• Introduction to Teacher Software

Day 2

• Additional coverage of simulations and data-collection labs with the TI-Nspire™ CX handheld
• Emphasis on classroom applications and online resources
