There are a few ways to learn to set up and use the TI-Nspire™ Navigator™ Teacher Software: • The Start Here Guide-a short version of the setup process with fewer details. • This Getting Started with the TI-Nspire™ Navigator™ Teacher Software guide, provided in both printed and PDF formats. The Getting Started Guide introduces you to the software and walks you through setting up classrooms. • The TI-Nspire™ Navigator™ Teacher Software Guidebook, provided in PDF format and available at education.ti.com/guides. The TI-Nspire™ Navigator™ Teacher Software Guidebook gives you complete information on all functions of the software. After you install the TI-Nspire™ Navigator™ Teacher Software on your computer, you can use the Getting Started Guide or the Software Guidebook as a reference for the software tools. The process of unpacking the equipment, setting up the hardware, and installing the software will probably require about two hours of your time. Unpacking the boxes The TI-Nspire™ Navigator™ system product consists of TI-Nspire™ Navigator™ Teacher Software, an access point, and either 15 or 30 cradles or wireless adapters, depending on your specific order. If necessary, you can purchase additional kits to accommodate as many as 40 students. Identify each item, and check the items against the following lists to make sure your order is complete. 2 Setting up the TI-Nspire™ Navigator™ Teacher Software
