This is a great resource that can be set up on a desktop or laptop  and then the completed books including images can be transferred to a handheld device.  Two downloads need to be accessed to allow Microsoft Reader to work.  The first can be found here http://www.microsoft.com/reader/downloads/pc.mspx and the download is called MSReaderSetupUSA.exe and is on the right hand side of the page.  The second can be found here http://www.microsoft.com/reader/developers/downloads/rmr.mspx and the download is called WordRMR.exe and again is on the right hand side of the page.  This is a super tool and is great for creative writing and for sharing children’s work.  If there is any problem downloading have a word with your link consultant and they should be able to bring it in for you.

There have been a number of issues with opening sums online on some of the handheld devices.  A number of the children’s devices have not been able to open the application - Sums Online.  The best explanation for this is that Sums Online is trying to open in Opera whereas it should be opening in Internet Explorer.  To resolve this, open Opera, go to settings and untick use as default browser.  Then try opening Sums Online.  Hopefully this will work with the devices!

Hi - just to say ‘hello’ and check I can do this!

I suspect I won’t discover anything ‘new’ myself but thanks in advance to all of you who do and share it.

Liz
