This week, Mrs. McCoy's Algebra 1 and Mrs. Brewer's Algebra 2 classes enjoyed the new TI-Innovator Rovers, Hubs, & TI-Nspire calculators purchased by the PRI Grant under the direction of Mrs. Amy Dooley. Teachers were mentored by the systematic coach who also lead students through coding the devices to light up, make sounds, & "drive" around the classroom! Teachers intend to use the new technology more often to engage all students in fun and hands on learning experiences.
