Wireless+Networked+Nspires

**Having fun with wireless networked colour TI-nspires**

Presented by Ray Williams

This workshop provides participants with an opportunity to experience the interactive capacity of the wireless connection of the new Colour CX TI-Nspire devices to the teacher’s computer in the classroom. The ability to place a student in the role of ‘teacher’ provides a most useful degree of freedom for the teacher and results in immense pedagogical gains in the classroom.


 * **Network can interfere with class next door if two classes are using Navigator. **
 * **Equipment required laptop, wireless router, navigator. Students need calculator. **
 * **Teacher can type a question, it appears on student calculator, student responds on the calculator and the teacher can see the responses. If the teachers screen is projected, the responses can be discussed by the class. **
 * **The class can be "paused". This disables student calculators and assists teachers in getting the students' attention. Very useful!! **
 * **All student screens can be captured at any time. **

**Kristy and I agreed that Lorne should buy us the Navigator and a class set of CXs!!! ** **A useful session highlighting practical classroom strategies. **
