Reflection #7

I was talking to my sister today about the new inspire graphing calculators that they use in the Issaquah School District. She told me that one of the new things you can do on an inspire that you can’t do on a TI84 is type in logs of different bases. If you were using a TI you would have to use the change of base formula to accomplish this. Because the entire district uses inspire software, students in the Issaquah School District don’t know the change of base formula. It was strange for me to think about the way technology can actually change the content of a class and the material that students learn.
