New HP Prime Will Blaze Trails
With Texas Instruments and Casio making virtually all of the calculator news since I started Tech Powered Math in the summer of 2010, it’s sometimes been easy to forget that there is still a third major graphing calculator manufacturer, Hewlett Packard.

So as I write this, I’m comfortably in my living room, making the occasional uncomfortable trip down to my basement… Continue Reading
T3 Day 2 Roundup: Mayim, the Marriott, and the Market
My day two here in Philadelphia was jam packed with sessions, so much so that it feels really good to just hunker down in my room long enough to get a post up. The day kicked off with a session from the always entertaining TI-Nspire expert Tom Reardon. TI spokesperson and Big Bang Theory star… Continue Reading
T3 Coverage and TI-Nspire App Sale
The T3 conference is hitting Philadelphia this week, and I’ll be fortunate enough to be in attendance.
