Hi Kirby,

Love your article!

Case in point, last summer I was tasked with taking over a Calc III section at 
the local college at the last second. I was given a huge multimedia lecture 
hall with balcony setting, media center and HDTVs all over the room to display 
my work from my monitor. I wanted to record my lessons live for YouTube so I 
used teamviewer to drive the whole room from the media center remotely on my 
chromebook.

First thing I lost in this setup was a TI84 or nSpire emulator so I just had 
everyone bring in their own device (BYOD) be it laptop, tablet or smartphone 
and we used SAGE all summer session. It worked great. The students could all 
code with me during class and at home for homework as well as on tests.

I'm never going back to the calculator of the past!

Regards,
Al
