Subject: training in graphic calculators in the classroom

One of my colleagues has pointed out to me that, in many ways, graphing cal=
culators are improving, advancing and becoming more user friendly as a form=
of technology similar to our phones and computers. As a middle school teac=
her, she had not had much exposure to them, but now we have students in acc=
elerated courses that need to learn how to use them. The ideal situation wo=
uld involve a hands one workshop. Any suggestions you might have would be =
appreciated.
Here is her request:
I am looking for a course of some kind on graphing calculators. I know a b=
it about them, but for a math teacher, I am behind the times!! I would lov=
e to learn some basics that are generally the same from calculator to calcu=
lator, and then I would like to learn more about newer versions of graphing=
calculators, including online options.
