NspireTM NavigatorTM and the Three R’s:
“Information is everywhere. In this changing world, sense-making and the ability to evaluate the credibility of information are paramount.”
Willard R. Daggett, ICLE
NspireTM NavigatorTM and the Three R’s:
NspireTM NavigatorTM and the Three R’s:RIGOR
Academic rigor…learning in which learners demonstrate a thorough, in-depth mastery of challenging tasks that develop cognitive skills through reflective thought, analysis, problem-solving, evaluation, or creativity.
NspireTM NavigatorTM and the Three R’s:RIGOR
IS NOT….•More or harder worksheets
•AP or honors courses
•The higher level book in reading
•More work
•More homework
NspireTM NavigatorTM and the Three R’s:RELEVANCE
Academic relevance…learning in which learners apply core knowledge, concepts, or skills to solve real-world problems.
NspireTM NavigatorTM and the Three R’s:RELEVANCE
KIDS TODAY…•Learn anywhere, anytime, with and from anyone•Always on, always connected, expecting collaboration•Need to be engaged and involved•Demand personalized learning experiences
Linda Jordan, ICLE
NspireTM NavigatorTM and the Three R’s:RELATIONSHIPS
Learning improves when learners have positive relationships with their peers and teachers.
Students need to know we care.

How does NspireTM NavigatorTM help?
•Quick Polls- Change Classroom Climate
•Data Gathering
•Fast Communication of Information
NspireTM NavigatorTM and the Three R’s:RELATIONSHIPS
Components of a Community-Centered Classroom are: •class discussion•peer interaction •reasons for actions taken•knowledge of class position•same side as teacher•lack of embarrassment•pride in class achievement•knowing others have the same difficulty•cheering and enthusiasm•and non-confrontational competition
Owens , Demana , Abrahamson, Meagher, & Herman (2004)
NspireTM NavigatorTM and the Three R’s:RELATIONSHIPS
Navigator ideas:•Quick Poll students’ hobbies at the beginning of the year and use the topics in assignments.•Use collaborative teams to assess and agree on correct responses.•Initiate healthy competition between classes.
NspireTM NavigatorTM and the Three R’s:RELEVANCE
NspireTM NavigatorTM allows for fast communication of relevant information. And, the information can be class specific.
PRENTICE HALL ALGEBRA 2, 2004Page 237, #22 The table shows the percent of U.S. households with cable TV. a. Find a quadratic model using 1960 as year 0, 1970 as year 10, and so on. b. Use the model to estimate the percent of households with cable TV in 1995.

Is this relevant? What can be done to make it current?Imagine the shape of the data.Would predictions from 2000 be similar to predictions we would make today? Why?

NspireTM NavigatorTM and the Three R’s:RIGOR
Discovery Skills:•Questioning•Observing•Networking•Experimenting•Associational Thinking
NspireTM NavigatorTM and the Three R’s:RIGOR
CCSS Standards for Mathematical Practice:•Make sense of problems and persevere in
solving them.•Reason abstractly and quantitatively.•Construct viable arguments and critique the
reasoning of others.•Model with mathematics.•Use appropriate tools strategically.•Attend to precision.

Apple or Android?
NspireTM NavigatorTM and the Three R’s:Smartphone Stats (Global):•Gartner estimated sales of smartphones through Q1 2012 at 298 million. Estimated total sales across 2011 were 472 million or 31% of mobile communication device sales. This compares with figures for 2010 from the same company of 297 million smartphones or 19% of the 1.6 billion mobile phones sold that year.
•From 2010 to 2011 smartphone sales rose 58%.
•Nielsen's figures for Q2 2012 in the US show Android as the leading OS with 51.6% of all currently-owned smartphones, followed by Apple's iPhone at 34.3% and the RIM (Blackberry) OS at 8.1%. Smartphone users in the US reached 110 million in May 2012.
