I do not mean to interrupt your lottery discussion but I really need your
help
. Chances are that I will have a visually challenged student in my college
alge
bra class next fall. I will be using a graphing calculator extensively.
However
this student cannot see the keys on the calculator, the screen on the
calculat
or or the projection from the viewscreen. Many of the activities in the class
a
re of an investigative nature so the students need to be able to test their
ide
as. This makes it very hard to work with a "notetaker". My future student can
s
ee what is written on the viewscreen if he holds it at a specific angle and
tap
es a piece of white cardboard on the back. I am sure one or more of you
are/hav
e been in my situation. What kind of technology is out there? Where can I get
i
t from? and how much does it cost ? and where would that money come from?
Thank you for your time and have a great day. ER

I am not sure of the publisher, but Inkow I saw an advertisement for an
Algebra text that had a sofware package withit that duplicated the TI82 or
83. Keep checking. This in a laptop with brightness control might just be
the perfect solution.
