TIB: Re: TI-89=future of education




I totally agree with you, Paul.  I think that people need to understand
the concepts behind the math, then use the calculator as a tool to grow
and analyze concepts such as seeing derivatives algebraicly and
graphically.  But the argument over the usage of the 89 in my opinion
represents something entirely more than that.  It has to do with
technology versus education.  Newer and better technology lets us not
only have an easier time with current problems, but it allows us to grow
and solve even more difficult problems than before.
