Texas Instruments has released version 1.1 of its TI InterActive! integrated PC software, which is specifically designed for math and science. InterActive! assists teachers in developing lessons and in-class activities that promote the understanding of math and science concepts, and the improvement of students' problem-solving skills.

It also allows activities to be saved in multiple formats, including HTML, Microsoft Word and Rich Text Format.
