Thank you. You have saved me so much time this evening I was just beginning to despair with the PDF format and resigned to having to re-type them. I believe we are not supposed to be able to amend them hence the PDF format. I intend to re-write them in language our teachers, TAs and children can understand without re-reading several times.

Even more incredible that a teacher is doing this in his own time.
This should have been thought about from the start and provided when the APP materials went live. If we are being told to incorporate use of ICT into our practice then the people who are designing the curriculum should make sure that any materials they provide are fully IT aware so we don’t have to do this sort of stuff.
It’s like the early days of the Literacy Strategy when everyone was literally cut, copying and pasting the strategy onto large sheets of paper. Didn’t it take another eight or nine years for the stategy itself to provide a computer based planning system. Which certainly initially didn’t work too well if it does now?

I really like this idea. Thanks for sharing it

I work in a secondary school, so the levels will be different, but I could easily adapt this, it’s so simple to record and share information.

I wonder if I can persuade some of my colleagues to start using Google docs…

What an effort! Unbelievable that in the 21st Century somebody thinks it’s ok to produce a load of stuff in a format that 99% of people can’t edit.
