La Serna's math teachers are predominantly familiar with the 83 and 84 models, so students often report that those calculators are easiest to use in classroom settings. We teachers can usually figure out the other models, too albeit with a little Googling in some cases , but it may require extra time, some trial-and-error, and some patience!
Casio calculators are often comparable to TI's in terms of functionality. Cantu Gaining trust in the classroom, however, has been an uphill battle. Business and tech news in 5 minutes or less.

Calcs are quality. I mean that maybe the iPad does everything, but calculators are made for calculations. They have buttons for example as mentionned in the article, so you can type your calculation faster. It's the same story as for eReaders. Maybe the iPad can read too, but it doesn't read as well as eReaders.
So maybe eReader and calcs are worthless out of their domain but they're the best at what they are supposed to do. Just make that Desmos App on a dedicated device with buttons and a reasonable battery range and then ok, we can talk about that advertisement again.
Maybe, but do you really think this will be solved with iPads? Or maybe those iPads will be given for free but then, why not do this now with calcs? Calcs are dedicated devices with sufficient hardware and they fulfill their job perfectly.
TI doesn't really have a full monopoly at least not in France but it's normal not to see tons of brands since teachers won't learn all the differences between models, so you'll basically find TI-schools and Casio-schools.
They might be too expensive but replacing them with iPads won't solve that problem. And I didn't even mention programming. A few points I'd like to poke: 1 Lets be honest, the ti's performance when compared to today's technology is quite horrific the newer calcs are slightly better but still Maybe in the 80s and 90s, this kind of technology would have cost a fortune, but today, I don't see why it should.
For example, I own a ti-nspire, and although most of my classes don't allow me to use it during exams, I can always use it to check my answers when I'm working, and even check what the graph of a function would look like in a jiffy. I think teachers use these calculators because thy have always used them and they believe it genuinely helps students learn, which if it is the case, then I don't see why we would stop using them.
It's like saying we shouldn't attend chemistry lectures because you can find all that information online While this is true, it doesn't mean people should stop attending chemistry lectures. I had seen this article elsewhere. The point about calculators being severely outdated technology sold at extremely high price tags is based on a fact and obviously valid.
Multiple of us have been making it for years, and the gap between modern platforms and calculators is only widening. On the mid-end of the market place, the TI-eZ80 series is a step in the right direction the plain old Z80 is so s , but it's nowhere near enough yet.
While other companies make slightly cheaper approved calculators, most students are pointed towards the TI or TI; it's a lot easier to teach with one device instead of many. When students have no choice but to purchase a calculator from a finite list of options, the sellers can feel free to set their price. Barclays analyst Blayne Curtis told The Washington Post that, "[c]ompared to other electronics this day and age there is very little content [in a TI Plus] Plastic case, small black and white screen, two semiconductor chips.
The batteries are even not rechargeable like a cell phone.
