Faculty Technology Skills
Faculty members need to know how to run programs on a TI-83 Plus graphing calculator
and how to access pages on the Internet. Faculty members may also need to be able to
download a program and install it on their computers or servers. 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 a program to their PC
and transfer it to their calculator or know how to enter a program 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).
An Internet browser is also required along with Internet access. The program, Guessbox, will need to
be entered or downloaded from another calculator.
The program is available at
http://www2.lc.edu/mathsci/kbodden/guessbox.83p.
Note: This link will open in a separate browser window
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, Guessbox, will need to be entered or downloaded from another calculator or the Internet.
If downloading off of the Internet, students will need access to TI-Graph Link in order to transfer
the program to their calculators.
Cost
The only cost involved with this module should be that of the calculator (about $100),
if needed, and a TI-Graph Link (at least for the instructor) that costs about $20.
Students could purchase their own TI-Graph Link if desired.
