[BlindMath] Accessible Calculators:

[Bill Dengler]

What sort of math class is it? That is to say, what topics will be covered, and what will the calculator be used for?
I have an APH TI84. There are occasional glitches, and mathPrint mode isn’t accessible, but otherwise it works fine for my needs.
There’s also http://desmos.com <http://desmos.com/> which has an accessible mode.

Unfortunently, when I talked with my education team just before lunch, the APH Ti84 got some sceptisism and my technology teacher also didn’t get enough good reviews regarding this calculator. Has anyone used it in math class? If so, what are your experiences with the APH TI84 graphic calculator with the talking peace added to it? How did it work for you? Were you able to use it independently and without problems? If not, what are the problems? How did you get around those problems? Are there areas where you have to have sited help with this calculator? Can you use it out of the box? Did a sited person have to set it up for you? Even more importantly, are you able to use the whole calculator without sited help? The more I know about this calculator, the marrier!!! I need to educate my education team myself on this matter.
