'Graphing Calculator' is software that can be used to display images of
                                                                                                    various entities in R3, including points, curves, surfaces, vectors and vector
                                                                                                    fields.  I'll be sharing how I've used the software to create dynamic imagery
                                                                                                    as a teaching tool for a variety of Calc III topics.
