Hi<br>
<br>
Sorry if I do not fully understand this. The proposal is that an ErrorAlert will be created which must be dismissed by its OK button. Is there any possibility that a large number of errors can be created, each needing to be manually dismissed?<br>

It is very unlikely that primary school students will be able to make any sense of the log and not much better for secondary school students. Anybody who could interpret the log would probably know about the Log activity. So I wouldn't ask them with "please check" but rather offer it as a possibility.<br>
<br>
My suggested rewording:<br>
Sorry, something went wrong.<br>
For more information, use the Log Activity<br>
to view the file shell.log.<div class="im"><br>
