NAPSI)-The smartest looks for this year's students may have less to do with what they wear than with the gear they carry. That's because new types of technology have not only become stylish, they've also become important educational tools. Here's a closer look:
Max Math Scores-The FX-9860G is a new graphing calculator that is ideal for high school and college kids who are exploring more-complex math functions and who will be preparing for SATs, AP, and state-issued tests. With an advanced screen and built-in USB port, the device lets students hook up to their PCs and download and share a number of add-in applications. The device is also a great accessory to calculus, chemistry, physics, biology, finance and business courses.
A Fraction Of The Work-The FX-300ES scientific calculator has an exclusive "natural textbook" display. It's designed to let students see work, including fractions and scientific expressions, exactly as it appears in their textbooks.
Functional Basics-The basic, four-function SL-450L comes in candy-colored pastel purple, and is great for students of all ages.
Label It-The disc title printer CW-50 (available at Staples stores) is handy for labeling and organizing all those DVD's and CD's that student's often burn, but don't label.
Wearable Technology-Students will always be on time for class with the fashionable atomic Baby-G watch. It uses atomic technology to provide accurate time (it's synchronized with and receives data from the atomic tower in Colorado). It even automatically updates itself during daylight saving time.
