[IAEP] [support-gang] Another Etoys Question

[Caryl Bigenho]

Have they changed the passwords and user names since last summer?  I helped write the original XO manual and worked on the Spanish translation of the Activities manual. Tonight I can't sign in and the Etoys book doesn't seem to be available in the Read mode. I asked for my password via email and it did not recognize either of my email addresses.

There is a new link for the manual here:
http://booki.flossmanuals.net/etoys-reference-manual/edit/
Floss manuals updated the system, it is now called "booki". It is better to use the new link, the old one will probably be removed sometime in the future. As for the translation, we'll have to find out how to setup a spanish version. We should do it on booki, too. I'll find out how to start it.
Greetings,Rita

Thank you Gerald, Carlos and for those who want to help!

Cherry,



I am going to be using the manual with some teachers soon.

I will make updates from those sessions.

You will then be able to add pages by clicking on the "+" in the Book header and you can also duplicate pages from the menu in the header.
