Ms. Thompson sees advantages for students in the way TI-Nspire CAS technology connects together applications, and
in the way the handheld allows students to write mathematics in the same way they will see it on screen. Ms. Thompson comments, “I think students will learn TI-Nspire CAS technology faster than they will other (graphing) calculators since it is built more like a computer.” She estimated that reaching full classroom proficiency took approximately 36 weeks.
