Connect the graphing calculator with a data cable.
Note:
Connecting a calculator to the teacher’s computer with the
USB Silver Edition cable adds the calculator to the network without the
need for a network hub. When a teacher uses the calculator to login
using her teacher account, she can send and receive QuickPolls, send files
to the class, or use the Activity Center, all without using the computer.
See the
TI-Navigator™ Reference Guide
or Help for more information.
At the end of the school day, return the hubs to the charging bay and
charge them overnight. The hubs are fully charged when all the
(power status) LEDs are solid green.
Installing software Apps on the calculators
Required
Four required Apps must be installed on all the calculators on the
network. These Apps are named NavNet (used to connect to the
TI-Navigator™ system),
E
AlgACT,
E
navstk, and LearnChk (used to view
activities on the calculator). TI-73 Explorer users require an additional
App,
E
MSact, which is used to run the Visual Fractions and NumberLine
Activities. Use the App Transfer utility to install the Apps.
