Murrumba State Secondary College

I am a Mathematics teacher at Murrumba State Secondary College, Queensland. I began teaching in 1995 at Longreach SHS where I first used a TI-82 and TI-83 graphics calculator for teaching in my senior Mathematics classes. After transferring to Redcliffe SHS in Brisbane I was given more opportunities to use the TI-83 and TI84 graphics calculators, as well as trialling the TI-84 Navigator system. I have continued to use a range of TI calculators in both my junior and senior mathematics classes. Currently, I use TI-Nspire and TI-Nspire Navigator to enhance my mathematics teaching while investigating ways to apply the flipped classroom pedagogy to my classroom.
