Faculty Technology Skills

Faculty need to know how to run programs on a TI-83 Plus graphing calculator and how to access pages on the Internet. Faculty may also need to be able to download a program and install it on the computer or server. They should be familiar with transferring programs from a PC to the calculator or know how to enter a program into the calculator.

Student Technology Skills

Students need to know how to run programs on a TI-83 Plus graphing calculator and access pages on the Internet. Students may also need to be able to download programs to their PCs and transfer them to their calculators or know how to enter programs into the calculator.

Faculty Equipment

The faculty member needs to have a TI-83 Plus and a link cable to transmit the program (if needed). The program, LINREG2, will need to be entered or downloaded from another calculator. The program is available at http://www2.lc.edu/mathsci/kbodden/linreg2.83p. Once downloaded, the program can be transferred to a calculator using TI-Graph Link.

Student Equipment

The students need to have their own TI-83 Plus and a link cable to transmit the program (if needed). The program, LINREG2, will need to be entered or downloaded from another calculator or the Internet. If downloading off of the Internet, the student will need access to TI-Graph Link in order to transfer the program to the calculator.

Cost

The only cost involved with this module should be that of the calculator (about $100), if needed, and TI-Graph Link (at least for the instructor), which costs about $20. Students could purchase their own TI-Graph Link if desired.
