Personal Information:

My name is Ryan Hoerner and I am a Mathematics Teacher at Senior High School in Dubuque, Iowa. This is my fourth year teaching at Senior and I have enjoyed every minute. I am originally from Epworth, Iowa where I attended Western Dubuque High School. After high school, I attended Wartburg College and received my Bachelors Degree in Mathematics with a Teaching Endorsement. While at Wartburg College, I participated on the football team where I was on a leadership team for two years and a captain my senior year.

As a teacher, I believe that every student should be given the opportunity to learn in an environment that involves investigation, critical thinking, and collaboration. If these three environments are established in the classroom, every student has an opportunity to work at a pace to meet the challenges ahead of them and hopefully become successful.

Graphing Calculator instructions

Here are the steps to download the free program: 1. Download this program: [|83psdk_setup.exe]

 2. Install the program using all the normal "next" prompts.....when done it will ask you to reboot. Be sure to do this to finish the install.

 3. After you reboot - there is a new icon on your desktop called "TI-83 Plus Flash Debugger". To activate this do the usual double-click to open the program. When the program opens - under the FILE menu, choose "New" and then choose the calculator of your choice (usually TI-83 Plus Silver Edition) followed by OK. Another window comes up - Choose the Play arrow. The simulator opens up and you can use it like a regular calculator. You can minimize the other open windows to get them out of the way and you can move the calculator by dragging the blue bar at the top. You cannot resize the calculator. DO NOT Close the debugging window. If you do so the calculator will close as well.

3. Using the number pad on the side of the keyboard works just fine. using the numbers on the top of the keyboard tends to make strange characters show up. For the function buttons you will have to use the mouse to get the buttons to be used correctly.
