Re: Trouble with Etoys

Nancy,
Hmm, I not sure what is happening so I am sending your note to the Etoys developer's team. They will be able to help. It must be unsettling for you and your students to have the software to act the way you describe.

Let me speak for the EtoysIllinois team and tell you we are glad to hear you like the site and the resources!Would you be interested in attending one of our meetings with Google +? We meet year round, every other Thursday at 1PM, the next meeting will be May 23rd.

There also are weekly meetings of the Squeakland Education Team on Thursdays a little earlier in the day. Both groups enjoy meeting others using Etoys with students.
Let me know.
Regards,
Kathleen

Hi Kathleen,

Does this sound like something you can help with, Kathleen?  It sounds like
she has the latest version of Etoys.

I have another question. There used to be an undo arrow on the Sugar Navigator Flap and it isn't there any long. If the students make a mistake is there an undo? Can we get the undo arrow back somehow? 

Thanks!

Thank you for the fast response, Karl.  One of the teacher’s 5th graders actually figured it out and they got it working! J

Hi

It sound like a setting is changed in your Etoys.

 

Right click on the background/desktop in Etoys, the halo for the background/desktop appears.

Click on the menu handle for the background/desktop.

Select the 'playfield options'

See if 'auto-phrase-expansion' is checked, it should be.

 

The projects you can't load, are they available for download somewhere, so I can check them for issues ?
