Not just stopping at math applications Texas Instruments
has set the bar for user friendly apps. If you are Chinese there is
an app that will translate your calculator into Chinese along with
other languages.
Need help staying organized? Downloadable calendars and day
planners will surely make your life easier.

5. Helping the Teacher
Texas Instruments is getting the teacher as well as the parents
involved to further improve understanding of a potentially
intimidating product
a link to a recommendation letter already in a PDF file on their
website helps teachers select which calculator best suits their
class.
Providing many tutorials and class room activities will help the
teacher unlock the full power of their calculator so students are
not just using it for simple computations.

7. Applications
Kindle has many great features but the one that students would
benefit from the most is saving a lot of money on textbooks along
with not having to carry around a super heavy book bag that can
very well lead to back problems.

9. BAD BOOKBAGS
although you will not turn yellow, if you carry around enough books
for a long enough time your back will let you know how much it
hates you.

10. ONLINE DATA BANKS
before coming to college I had to deal with libraries but more so
the crotchety librarians that work at these monuments to education.
Now I have the pleasure of working with online databanks that IUPUI
has generously bestowed upon its students. IUPUI breaks down each
data bank into categories which is the first of many refinements
one can have in their pursuit of the appropriate information.
-Anthropology
-chemistry
-education !click the
-women’s studies pic!
-business managements
-sociology
-psychology
these are just a few of the subjects one can use to get
information !HOME!
11. INSIDE A DATA BANK
Once inside a user has the option to further refine his/her search
-full text articles
-picture articles
-peer review/unreviewed articles
you may also limit the dates to:
-within the last 12 months
-any year
-or even specific dates
all the way to document type or physical description
These options allow the user to fully get where they need to be
information wise data banks are open 24/7 and all you need to
access them are a student ID and a willingness to learn.

13. CONCLUSION
From this assignment I learned a great deal about how important it is to know
how to make a non linear power point. First I didn’t think it would make a difference
but soon realized that it gets the viewer much more involved in what they are looking at
as well as making it more fun for me the creator.
Before this assignment I had no idea that a calculator had the capability to
speak Chinese or to have a day planner as well.
Finally I learned about my own capability to learn about a program and
effectively utilize its components to make for a joyous learning experience.
