The WAMATYC conference was also this last weekend, 212 participants seems
to ring a bell. One of the topics discussed was the extent to which
graphing technology should be integrated into intermediate algebra. The
panel that discussed the issue seemed comfortable with graphing
calculators in calculus and pre-calculus but questionable in
intermediate. What do you all think?

As an aside, one of the nice things about this meeting is the way talks
seem to be devoted both to teaching mathematics and also to
doing/learning/discussing mathematics that we may never directly teach.
It isn't just one or another.
