The toolbar has seven icons: 2 - Toolbar 2 TI-Nspire™ Document Player Item Open Description There are two document format types you can open, the TI-Nspire™ documents (. tns) and the PublishView™ documents (. tnsp). You can save a copy of the original document (but you cannot save any changes made). A list of pre-defined online storage applications is displayed when selecting this feature. You can return to where you were before the undo with the redo command. Resets everything back to its original state before any changes were made. This is particularly useful, for example, if you are letting students experiment on their own and now you want them to return the document to its original state to participate in a discussion.

Example Document Inside the TI-Nspire™ Document Player The following example shows a document as it appears in the TI-Nspire™ Document Player. It shows one of the slider controls as shown in the previous Controls section and also shows an example of working with points. This document shows the concept of the Pythagorean theorem by letting the student conceptualize the relationship by interaction with the visual. In the example, students will use sliders and points to review various sizes of squares and move their corners to form a triangle. Note: The purpose here is only to show an example of the controls in actions, not to explain how the lesson proceeds. You will use the scroll bar later to move to the next page. TI-Nspire™ Document Player 9 The next image is a close-up of the page showing the text and triangles. This is important to remember: The Document Player can open any TI-Nspire™ document. [. . . ] However, instructions within the document may not have been written with the Document Player in mind. In this circumstance, it is important to realize there is nothing wrong with Document Player; the document functionality was created with a handheld or another software product in mind. For example, on this page you cannot use the triangles but you can go to the next page using the scroll bar on the page’s right edge (as shown in the previous graphic). Shown in the following graphics are examples of two control types (slider and points) that can be used within the TI-Nspire™ Document Player. On the box corners are points. 10 TI-Nspire™ Document Player The following graphic is a close-up of the left corner of the previous graphic. [. . . ]
