Many studies have been conducted on the use of graphic calculator technology in teaching and learning (T&L) of mathematics. However, most of the previous studies focused on methods of improving students’ achievements and their perceptions about the use of this tool in learning. It is rare to find studies involving workshops with lectures in order to familiarize them with the graphic calculator and their views on the integration of this technology in teaching. For this study, Kolej Matrikulasi Perak was chosen as the location of the study and the samples consisted of the college’s lecturers. A total of 30 lecturers had been selected who possess different backgrounds in terms of their skills in using calculator technology either scientific or graphic calculator. Two topics were chosen to be explored in a hands-on workshop which were Graph of Functions and Limits. Each lecturer was given one unit of Voyage 200 graphic calculator to explore individually. At the end of the workshop session, lecturers were given a questionnaire to determine their perceptions on the use of graphic calculators in T&L. The SPSS analysis of the data from the questionnaires showed a positive response. From these findings, it can be concluded that the lecturer in this college are ready to use graphics calculators in teaching because it can increase students’ understanding, especially on the topic of Graph of Functions and Limits.
