I wanted to remind middle school teachers in VT about the summer three day TI-Nspire session available at South Burlington High School on Aug 8-10.  There is a session being offered just for middle school teachers.  TI has a history of providing high quality mathematics opportunities.  There is an actual national program called Math Forward that TI has been doing for several years where T^3 instructors go into districts and work over a period of time with middle school teachers to develop quality programs.  As a consequence, TI has developed some really great materials for the middle school level.  Certainly, some of those will be used in the summer three day.  A reminder that the three days costs $350.  For that price a teacher gets about $300 worth of hardware and software.  The special price for schools or districts (get 6 for the price of 5) ends at the end of May.  At this time the high school session is a definate go.  The middle school session has 6 registered and needs 15 to definately be happening.  So, if you are a middle school teacher (certainly if you teach Algebra 1 in middle school) you might want to check this out.  There are only 37 sites in the US this summer and we are one of them!  The technology featured and included in the price of the course is the new TI-Nspire CX.  The handheld is a color handheld (a first for TI) and the teacher edition software (included) includes a new feature called publish view.  You have to see it to believe what it can do.  If you have any questions, I can be reached at [log in to unmask].  Jean McKenny
