Exchanging files with students
The TI-Navigator™ classroom learning system lets you exchange
information with the students in your classes. From the TI-Navigator™
system, you can send files to your students and collect files from your
students, as well as delete files from your students’ calculators. Your
students can send files to you and receive files from you. This section
covers the different ways to work with files in the TI-Navigator™ system,
and includes both instructions for you to use and instructions for you to
give your students.
Sending files
You can send calculator-compatible files (such as lists and EDC files) to
your students’ calculators from your computer or your calculator.
Choosing the location that you want to send files from depends on the
location of your files and the number of choices you want about where
you send the files. If you choose to send the files from your calculator,
then you send files to your whole class forced. When you send files from
your computer, you have two choices that are not available when you
send from your calculator. You can:
• Send files to your whole class, members of the class currently logged
in, or to individual students.
• Send files forced or unforced. If you send files unforced, students
must receive the files from the transfers screen. If you force send the
files, the students’ calculators receive the files immediately.
All the files you collect, acquire, or send from a calculator contain a
setting in their file properties that specifies where the file came from on
the calculator (RAM or Archive). By default, the TI-Navigator™ software
uses the file’s settings to determine where to send the file. For example,
if you collected a file from a calculator’s RAM, when you send the file the
TI-Navigator™ software will send it to RAM. However, if you send the file
from your computer, then you can select where the TI-Navigator™
software sends the file by changing the file’s settings in Windows®.
