We are getting close to our workshop. Just a few points to make below and then I will send out another update early next week. Please email me at if you have any questions. Call me at home 479-443-9061 or on my cell if you like 479-236-1476. I screen calls so you might need to leave a message.

-  See your webpage for all the info you may need, including: - Agenda, Parking and Location maps, Parking Tag, etc..

-  Room assignments will come with the next email. I will include directions and you will see signs directing you as you enter the building.
To help place you please rate your technological prowess using a scale of 1 to 7 with 5 being one less than 6 on these TI Technologies and return to me as soon as you can:
TI Interactive! = 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Cabri Geometry = 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
TI-89 = 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

-  It appears that we have a wait list so if you know of someone who still wants to attend, if they register then they may get on the list.

-  Parking:
Print the Visitor Parking Sign and place it on the dashboard – driver’s side on both days. Make the sign with your assigned room. Park in the Red areas on the Parking Map. Look for the unmarked spaces by the Mackey Center – enter off 6th street or the Visitor places on the NW corner of the building near the GBL. Overflow parking is on the far north side next to the basketball fields. Saturday parking won’t be a problem until 3 pm, when we need to vacate the lot to let the pigs come park for the game. That is, you will still need the Visitor Parking sign, but you can pick where you like, for the most part. When you get your assigned room, you will know the best place to park. If you can carpool on Friday that will help.

-  Fayetteville Teachers should plan to bring their own laptops. East Campus teachers should load the folder from the Share drive onto their computers.

-  We just found out that the New version of the TI-Nspire software will not make it to the training. We will need you to fill in your information on the Excel Spreadsheet so we can get your software shipped. If you want to get a jump on this, just fill in the information on the excel file lined on the web page and send it to me.

-  We did not have enough to have a CAS session but we will do a bit of CAS as you can see in the Agenda.
