[Blindmath] Webinar on the Orion TI-84 in 30 minutes

[Ken Perry]

I thought I would send this to the math list for anyone who has not had
time to see the TI-84 below is an announcement for a webinar that is going
on in the next 30 minutes if you're interested.  I will be on to answer
questions after the webinar and I can even do demo on command.  See below
 
 
Hello list,

Description: Working with Orbit Research and Texas Instruments, The
American Printing House developed the new Orion TI-84 plus Talking graphing
calculator based on the TI-84 Plus.  In this program we will explore the
approach and design concepts and features of the unit. We will then present
its audio and speech facilities, and the capabilities for connecting to
external peripherals.  We will also give an overview of the functions of
the calculator - its computational capabilities, graphing features, and
other functionality such as matrices and how these have been made
accessible, and the ability provided to the user to create their own
applications on the calculator and expand its functionality.
