hi everyone Greg here with science studio and this video is going to be a bit different it's gonna feel more like a tutorial than anything else so I'll cut right to the chase there have been times in class when I don't feel like pulling out my laptop or my tablet or my phone or anything else the only thing I have out on my desk is my graphing calculator and if you're looking to access notes quickly then what you're about to see in this tutorial of sorts might come in very handy now I understand that this tool I'm about to show you can be used for rather mischievous purposes but I will refrain from referring to those mischievous purposes for the sake of just being a good person and I mean come on science studio is not going to condone you to cheat that's that's just like against everything that we stand for so study hard and you will have to do this for any reason whatsoever including the mischievous reason that I just accidentally mentioned but anyway I'm going to show you how you can type out notes on a physical keyboard and then transfer those notes to your graphing calculator now you see where I'm going with this okay don't do it so if you want this magical note transfer tool follow these steps type in exactly what I've typed in here on Google and download the link I click here next type in note folio click on the first link and you're going to see two specific downloads that you'll need go ahead and sign in as a guest here and download the note folio TM application this is the application that will transfer directly to the graphing calculator the second application is a note folio creator this is what we'll use on our computer to type up notes to transfer to the calculator go ahead and install both of them once they've downloaded in some cases the application you download will require a net framework one point one not a big deal go ahead and type this in on Google as well and download net framework 1.1 don't worry this won't affect anything else on your computer once it is finished downloading also extract it and install it also keep in mind every one that you will need a specific adapter you should have gotten one with your graphing calculator but if you for some reason don't have one you can pick up one at any electronic store I would assume you're going to need a standard USB to mini-usb adapter now this one right here is a little wider than the one that you probably use for your Android phone so make sure that you get the correct one and it should obviously just slide on in to your calculator on one end and then into your computer on the other so you can transfer the application and also transfer your notes that you type out on the computer once TI Connect is finished installing go ahead and open it up at this point you should plug in your graphing calculator to your computer if you have speakers you should hear a sound the connection between the two devices has been made successfully a box may pop up asking for you to select which por your TI device is installed in once the application does connect to your calculator you'll find a list of settings and programs now select the note folio calculator application on your desktop and drag it into this box at this point the application should notify you that the transfer is taking place once things check out the application should refresh and the note folio app should be installed in your calculator next open the note folio computer application and then select your calculator version you can see there are more than just ti-83 and ti-84 is in here you also the TI 89 as well as the TI 92 then most of you probably have the ti-83 or ti-84 select your corresponding calculator and then you'll be thrown into the Creator at this point you can type in whatever you'd like let's just type in hello YouTube now if we wanted we could send this straight toward of ice but I'd like to show you that there are a few extra things you could include in these notes for instance these symbols symbols here that you would otherwise not be able to access within the calculator can in fact be programmed into the calculator from the computer so something like this fee symbol what you don't have standard on a graphing calculator can be programmed from this application this beta symbol can also be programmed once you are finished with your note you can go ahead and click send to device make sure that your calculator is hooked up to your computer and turned on enter a name for the file and then watch as the file is transferred to your calculator go back in the TI connect software and then refresh the calculator screen at this point you'll find the under application variable we have the sc/st program so before we confirm that a note has successfully been transferred let's transfer something else I'd like to show you in this instance that you can actually copy and paste literal text from documents or webpages so let's hop on over to sign Studios channel and copy and paste the description for one of our newest videos go ahead and right click back inside the Creator apps and click paste so you can see that everything has copied successfully go ahead and hit Send to device go ahead and type in a title I need it though I mean it and now let's go ahead and check out the literal notes inside of the calculator within the calculator itself select the apps button select note folio and press any key to enter the application menu is under the graph tab so go ahead and select the graph button and then scroll down to open we see it's pretty much like a computer in this case now you see both of our transfer notes let's open the first one SC ST and there you have it hello YouTube the fee symbol and the beta symbol so you can see that both of the symbols transfer it successfully and look pretty legit even though the calculator doesn't natively support them if you'd like to switch between apps go ahead and select the menu button again scroll down to open and select the other do not cheat or do not cheat in this case so you can see that everything we copy from our channel description has transferred another cool thing about the note folio application is that it does discern between uppercase and lowercase letters so while on manual programming you can only stick to uppercase letters we can include both within this app so this whole thing is pretty cool so there you have it your graphing calculator can do more than just multiply divide perform Z tests and graph things and pretty much everything else that you probably already know how to do it can also store large quantities of notes that are useful in the classroom but not daring tests science student is not condone cheating during tests so please do this at your own risk if you plan on doing something like that obviously we can't make you not cheat but if you're going to cheat that a backup okay just don't cheat that's that's the rule here science to do does not want you to cheat but these are useful notes for variety of reasons so yeah there's that give us a thumbs up if you thought the video was awesome give us a thumbs down if you got the video with straight crap but come on I mean who doesn't need this maybe for like a 60 year old guy who I don't know it's fixing to retire you probably don't need to know this but you should have known that when you clicked on the video in the first place I mean I put the title there for a reason so anyway I hope that high school and college is going well for the people who are in high school in college and find this video useful yeah subscribe and do that other stuff be sure to follow us on Twitter at sc/st salazar on instagram at science studio and on facebook at facebook.com
