that the Planet is acting strangly

[rexboggs5]

Or, maybe I am.

I was writing email instructions on how to access the Planet flipchart lessons.

I was testing my instructions as I went.

I selected Resources, Lessons, Maths, Ages 7-11.

Instead of the 700+ resources I was expecting, I saw 4.

The keyword 'Algebra' yielded only 1 lesson.

Can someone check this out and see if you get the same response? Or let me know what I am doing wrong?

Thanks

I had to "switch" over to the "UK Resources" as I am in the US (advanced search)

But when I chose lessons, Maths, 7-11, I found 730 flipcharts.

Searching for keyword "Algebra" alone, I found 111 flipchart lessons.

Back over to US resources:
Lessons, Math, Grades 3-5, I found 1012 flipcharts.

By keyword Algebra, I found 145 flipcharts.

Not sure what happened on your side. Does it still happen? Where you using advanced search?

Lisa, thanks for the prompt reply.

Below are the instructions I was sending. Where is the error? Is it the initial web address?

Try going to
http://www.prometheanplanet.com/ (http://www.prometheanplanet.com/forum/../)
and logging in. If you haven't registered yet, then you will have to click on the [Register] link in the upper left corner

Once logged in, in the toolbar towards the top, click on [Resources] and then [Lessons]

In the Keywords row: select Maths and then a grade level/age.

Make sure the [Lessons] option button is displayed and click on Search.

I am getting something similar - very few flipcharts, in some languages we don't use much in NZ :D
Also not seeing any options in the dropdowns right now :(
For your instructions: I would recommend selecting 'Maths' from the dropdown menu rather than putting it in as a Keyword.

Hmm. Let me check with others to see if it has something to do from where you are logging in.

Hi everyone.

We made some minor changes to the 'International English' drop-down option yesterday, so I think we can locate the issue and correct it. I will be back in touch when it's fully functional again.

Thanks.

Well, significant progress has been made - it is much better than it was. From my colleague who has been trying to access the flipcharts ....
"I tried again this morning and this time I was able to get the rest of the ‘icons’ that you had on your handout. Still got the Hebrew language ones as well – but at least I can now begin to browse the resources.Thanks for contacting Promethean Planet."

So is it possible to access only English language flipcharts? The example that I showed in a recent workshop had flipcharts only written in English, and I don't think I did anything special to achieve this ...

Anyway, big improvement! [clap]

Cheers
