ABSTRACT
With the growing use of graphing calculators in the classroom, there is a need for change in the methods used for testing students. Until recently, the design and implementation of tests which incorporated graphing technology was difficult and time consuming. However, the development of computer programs such as TI-Interactive has made this task easier for the instructor. This paper will address different methods for integrating graphing technology into standard student assessment.Keyword(s): graphing calculators, assessment
