The TI-Nspire™ Navigator™ classroom learning system provides the 
hardware and software tools you need to set up a wireless classroom 
network.
The system is composed of two parts, hardware and software. The 
hardware creates a wireless communications network so that your 
computer can communicate with your students’ handhelds. The 
hardware includes TI-Nspire™ CX Wireless Network Adapters, TI-Nspire™ 
Navigator™ Cradles, and the TI-Navigator™ access point.
The wireless adapters are used with the TI-Nspire™ CX handhelds. The 
cradles are used with the TI-Nspire™ CX, TI-Nspire™ CX CAS, TI-Nspire™, 
or TI-Nspire™ CAS handhelds. The access point is the communication link 
used in all wireless classroom setups.
The software contains a number of tools to enhance your classroom, 
including: 
Quick Poll. Lets you send polls to your students, receive the students’ 
responses to the polls, and review the poll results with your students.
Screen Capture. Lets you capture your students’ handheld screens 
automatically or at specific time intervals.
Live Presenter. Lets you display work as it is being performed on 
your handheld screen or your students’ handheld screens.
Review and Analysis. Lets you collect and review student 
assignments, and analyze data for the entire class or for individual 
students.
You can obtain educational content on the Web at TI’s Activities
