  1. Concepts and value of TI-Nspire™ Technology Module A

  2. Concepts and value of TI-Nspire™ Technology Module A Lesson 1: What is TI-Nspire Technology?

  3. TI-Nspire Technology In this lesson you will: • Get an overview of the TI-Nspire product-family, the Student and the Teacher software, solutions for classroom management as the TI-Nspire Navigator Teacher software and the TI-Nspire Computer Link software, including also some accessories. TI-Navigator™ Teacher Software Computer Link Docking Station 3 | Lesson A.1

  4. TI-Nspire ... is software which can be run either on a PC, a Mac or a TI-Nspire handheld. brings all commonly used software in math & science classes together in one learning environment. What is TI-Nspire Technology? The documents you create with TI-Nspire Technology can be exchanged between PC, a Mac or a handheld. They are also accessible via the TI-Nspire Document Player, which is available either online or offline. 4 | Lesson A.1

  5. Different applications in one learning environment • Calculator application • Graphs application • Geometry application • Lists & Spreadsheet application • Data & Statistics application • Notes application • Vernier Dataquest application • Question application (only in the Teacher Software) Extra tools: Program editor, Script editor, … 5 | Lesson A.1

  6. TI-Nspire Handhelds Clickpad handhelds Touchpad handhelds CX handhelds 6 | Lesson A.1

  7. TI-Nspire Family Six handhelds • The TI-Nspire solution brings together different representations including graphical, geometric, numeric,... • Graphs, geometric constructions, data tables, mathematical expressions/symbols and text are dynamically linked. • All calculations are numeric. TI-Nspire CAS Family • Is the same as TI-Nspire but has the extra features of the Computer Algebra System (CAS). • Calculations are numeric or symbolic. 7 | Lesson A.1

  8. TI-Nspire Technology software • There are three licensed software products: • Student software • Teacher software • TI-Navigator Teacher software Teacher Software TI-Navigator Teacher Software Student Software 8 | Lesson A.1

  9. TI-Nspire Student software View, author, edit documents. Create and print reports. Manage documents on connected handheld. Seamlessly continue work from the handheld on a computer platform. • It is a software for PC or Mac with the same functionalities as the TI-Nspire handheld, but with the benefits of a larger screen and a computer keyboard. • The software is available in two versions: TI-Nspire and TI-Nspire CAS. • At retail the Student software comes bundled with a handheld. 9 | Lesson A.1

  10. Is the same software as the student software, also available in two versions, TI-Nspire and TI-Nspire CAS, but comes with extra features: TI-Nspire Teacher software • For presentation: Built-in TI-SmartView™ Emulator - The emulator's features integrate well with interactive whiteboards and digital projectors. • For Assessment: Question Application - This feature allows you to create questions and assess the students. • For Classroom management: you can exchange documents in an easy way and manage a class set of handhelds. • For organizing your content: you have a Content Workspace to search for and filter content. • Docking Station to charge batteries or exchange files between class sets and the teacher computer. 10 | Lesson A.1

  11. Through a wireless network of TI-Nspire or TI-Nspire CAS handhelds or laptops, the TI-Nspire Navigator enables: TI-Nspire Navigator Teacher software • Instant Assessment: teachers can instantly gauge understanding of the students progress. • Increased Student Engagement: Any student can present their work from anywhere in the room. • Maximized Classroom Learning Time: Wirelessly transfer documents and collect, grade, save and record students' work. 11 | Lesson A.1

  12. Exchanging documents TI-Nspire Docking Station and Docking Station CX Are classroom solutions for sending documents to handhelds, upgrading multiple handhelds at a time and storing and recharging class sets. Docking Station Docking Station CX 12 | Lesson A.1

  13. Exchanging documents TI-Nspire Computer Link software. Is software to share files between a handheld and a computer: educators and students can quickly and easily link a single TI-Nspire handheldor TI-Nspire CAS handheld to a single classroom or lab computer in order to: • Capture pictures into documents, or save screenshots as image files on your computer. • Back up and transfer documents between a handheld and a computer. • Update the handheld's operating system on a single, connected handheld. 13 | Lesson A.1

  14. TI-Nspire ViewScreen™ panel When projecting from a standard overhead, the TI-Nspire ViewScreen panel is required for any connected TI-Nspire handheld or TI-Nspire CAS handheld. Also for the CX-handhelds. Accessories 14 | Lesson A.1

  15. Interchangeable keypad (only for TI-Nspire handhelds) Insert the interchangeable TI-84 Plus Keypad and continue using the TI-Nspire handheld alongside TI-83 Plus, TI-84 Plus and TI-84 Plus Silver Edition graphing calculators. Accessories 15 | Lesson A.1

  16. Data Collection – tools Data collection tools from TI and Vernier Software & Technology can be used with TI-Nspire and TI-Nspire CAS Technology. Several sensors from Vernier can be connected via the EasyLink™ to the built-in USB port of the handheld to collect data during science experiments. Via the TI-Nspire Lab Cradle you can connect several sensors at a time and use fast rate sampling. Accessories 16 | Lesson A.1

  17. Rechargeable Battery (Lithium Ion) How to charge? • Connecting to your computer via a USB port • Using the wall charger/adapter • Using a TI-Nspire Docking Station 17 | Lesson A.1

  18. Press-to-Test: The TI-Nspire handhelds are permitted for testing and accepted at several exams. The built-in Press-to-Test mode temporarily blocks access to all personal data and .tns documents and certain features that can be not allowed during testing. The Press-to-Test mode for TI-Nspire and TI-Nspire CAS handhelds is a fast way to configure students’ handhelds on exam days.  Exam acceptance 18 | Lesson A.1

  19. PublishView™ • TI-Nspire apps; • Rich text and hyperlinks; • Images and videos. In the Student software as well as the Teacher software and TI-Navigator Teacher software, you can design a PublishView™ Document. In one document you can insert: This document can be printed or published on a web-page. You can use the TI-Nspire Document Player. 19 | Lesson A.1

  20. Lua Scripting Lua scripting is offered as part of TI-Nspire software and operating system (version 3.2). The capability to author and play Lua scripts within a TI-Nspire document is especially important for the creation of science simulations on the TI-Nspire platform. Adding Lua scripting to the TI-Nspire platform is a first step toward a long- planned programming environment that supports math and science curricula. 20 | Lesson A.1

  21. In this lesson you learned that… • TI-Nspire Technology combines all commonly used applications in math & science classes. It runs on a handheld, a PC or a Mac. • There a two types of TI-Nspire Technology software: TI-Nspire and TI-Nspire CAS. • There are three types of handhelds: the Clickpad, the Touchpad and the CX-handhelds. • There are three types of computer software: the Student software, the Teacher software and TI-Navigator Teacher software. • TI-Nspire TI-Navigator Teacher software creates a wireless network environment, that increases the students’ engagement in class, makes it easy to send documents and assess the students’ progress. • If you don't have TI-Nspire computer software, you'll need to download TI-Nspire Computer Link Software in order to connect the handheld to the PC and make screen captures or update the OS. 21 | Lesson A.1

  22. In this lesson you learned that… • Several sensors can be connected to the handheld or the computer, to collect data during science experiments. • The TI-Nspire Lab Cradle is available to do multi-sensors or fast rate sampling. • The built-in Press-to-Test mode temporarily blocks access to all personal data and .tns documents and certain features that can be not allowed during testing. • You can create a PublishView document where you can integrate different TI-Nspire applications, rich text and hyperlinks, images and videos on one page. • TI-Nspire Technology supports Lua scripting, which is especially interesting for the creation of science simulations on the TI-Nspire platform. 22 | Lesson A.1
