Science Teachers

http://www.nationallabday.org/
National Lab Day is more than just a day. It's a nationwide initiative to build local communities of support that will foster ongoing collaborations among volunteers, students and educators. 
Volunteers, university students, scientists, engineers, other STEM professionals and, more broadly, members of the community are working together with educators and students to bring discovery-based science experiences to students in grades K-12. When an educator posts a project, our system will help them get the resources needed to bring that project to fruition.  
NLD is already underway! We currently have projects throughout the country - Interactive Map.
In the first week of May, 2010 we will celebrate this collaboration with National Lab Day activities across the country.

TI 84 update

The TI-84 Plus has an update for the Operating System.  It can be

This update includes a Math Print Mode that will allow you to enter fractions as fractions and calculate answers as fractions or mixed numbers rather than only as a decimal.
