A. Jorge Garcia, a math teacher at Baldwin Senior High, has submitted a form to be a speaker at the Twenty-sixth Annual Long Island Mathematics Conference on March 15, 2013. His proposed presentation is titled "SAGE Advice: New Tech for Math Class!" and would advocate for the use of PC classrooms with symbolic algebra software like SAGE, arguing that graphing calculators are now ubiquitous and it's time to adopt new technology. He recommends fellow Baldwin Senior High teacher George Drakatos as a future speaker for the conference.

Remember the revolution of the early 90s that swept the nation when we advocated the use of
Graphing Calculators in every Math class? Are Graphing Calculators so ubiquitous now that we
resist anything new? I say it's time for PC classrooms with a CAS like SAGE!
