[VELS] Changes for the new year

[Arnott, Suzanne S]

there was a patch that had to be added to Kahootz3, only found out about this at the regional PD session last year. we had heaps of issues getting it working on the classroom computers, and my R52 struggled. However, hopefully it is sorted when I get me new computer soon.
good luck,
Suz

I'm sorry Paul, but when we saw Kahootz on our laptops we, normally
playful and inquisitive with new toys and stuff, froze. Our very hippy
and creative Art/IT teacher said "what the ...", our resident Ed. Psych.
(now making a comfortable living on the lecture circuit) said "what the
..." in a very British accent and us mere mortals wrung our hands and
said "stuff it, what the ...". We even looked at the examples and
RTFM'd. So, I guess "quality learning materials" and "kahootz" do not sit 
comfortably together for us - but I would desperately love to be converted. 

Any quality tool is worth persevering with.
