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

[Dániel Hajas]

Hello Ken,

Joining to Gianni I would appreciate very much if a recording was published.
Unfortunatelly, I missed the live webcast but I am really interested in the
project. In IB we used to work a lot with TI GDC calculators especially the
TI84. I really liked it but of course when using the calculator I needed
mates help. Also I tried the PC version of the calculator and an audio
graphing tool but did not seem very accessible at the time. So would like to
check out the Orion TI84. Anyway, I am looking for a talking (possibly
graphing) calculator and if it could be Texas Instrument based, that would
be amazing.

Many thanks,
Dan

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,
 
This Wednesday, April 23rd, we are having the fifth live webcast of the
Happenings Around The House Series. The presentation will take place at
2:00 PM ET; 1:00 CT; 12:00 MT; and 11:00 PT. The title of the presentation
is:
 

"Developing Powerful New Graphing and Computation Tools for the Visually
Impaired, with Ken Perry, Research Project Leader"


  

We have a new 'Happenings' page, so you can log in by going to:
WWW.APH.ORG/HAPPENINGS <http://WWW.APH.ORG/HAPPENINGS> , and clicking on the
"Join Live Webcast" link.
Type your name in the 'User name", and leave the password blank.
 
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.
