Each module has 2-4 lessons as well as tips and hints on integrating the graphing calculator into your lessons plans.

Computer Requirements:

1024 x 768 monitor resolution. These movies are 680x580. A screen resolution of 1024x768 gives the best viewing size, but 800x600 works well, too.
Internet access (128kbs or better). Access using a broadband internet connection is best. These courses will work via a dial-up connection but will be slow.
Internet Explorer™ recommended
Macromedia Flash™ 7 Player (or later) (click to download and install)
Note: For courses involving a TI-84 Plus graphing calculator, TI SmartView™ is used to show the calculator keyboard and screen displays. More information on the TI-SmartView presentation software package, click here.

Navigation Tips:
These movies work much like a VCR. Use the menu bar at the bottom of the screen to rewind, play, fast forward, pause and stop or use the status bar to move between sections.

The “Show Me” button takes the user step by step through the lesson. If you feel you are familiar with the material you may want to skip forward and use the “Let Me Try” to test your knowledge.
