Workshop overview

This workshop is designed for educators who are interested in TI-Nspire™ technology in the mathematics classroom and want an introduction to coding in the context of high school mathematics.

Learn a wide range of TI-Nspire™ technology skills so that you’ll be comfortable using premade TI-Nspire™ Documents and have basic skills in graphing, geometry and other applications of TI-Nspire™ technology. Also, you will be introduced to basic coding for your students, building upon the lessons from TI’s 10 Minutes of Code. We will cover key principles including logic, selection statements and loops.

Day one workshop topics will include an:
