FAQ - Topic Tools

Can I change the settings or do I have to go into the same Topic Tool but in a different year/level?

You can change the setting for each tool. Click on the button for settings - this can either have the word settings on it, or a spanner icon.
 

How can I find out how to use a Topic Tool?

Within the tool towards the top left will be a button either with a question mark icon or the word help. Clicking that will open a tutorial giving an overview of the functionality of the tool.

Next to the button for each tool is an i icon. Click onto that and a Curriculum Map will open. On the right side you will see a light bulb in a purple circle. That opens a guide giving suggestions for classroom use.

Can you share content that you’ve saved in a Topic Tool?

Within your school, yes. All teachers can access content that has been saved into the Topic Tools.
 

Can you save content into Topic Tools?

Yes, most tools have the Save & Open feature. Use the disc icon to save (you’ll need your feature password to access this) and the folder icon to open.
 

How do I find relevant Topic Tools?

Select your year/level and subject. Select Topic Tools. Pre-loaded content will be relevant for the year/level you are in, and you can customise the content to your needs by using the Save & Open feature.
