Help with online exercises
 
Hello  everbody!!!
 
I �m curious about one thing. I live in S. Korea. When I try to use online exercises funny chracters pop up along with a lot of question marks, slashes etc. We use Internet Explorer at schools. Does anyone have similiar problems? Is there a solution to it such as; downloading certain software or language programs.
 
An intersting thing is that some online exercises appears perfect albeit a few of them. I couldn �t figure out the reasons.
 
Any ideas!!!!Thanks in advance and have a nice weekend!!!

Are you using the regular school computer or your own?  If it is the regular school computer its base language is Korean so certain sites, papers, programs do that when displaying English.  If it is your own what is the primary language on the computer your using set at?  Just adds a little extra fun fixing papers and sites to use for the students.  Even occasionally regular sites will have that issue when brought up in the classes.  The other thing is I get added/missing letters and spaces after posting or saving things.
 
As for fixing that wouldn �t mind knowing myself.  Have asked others and found the computer tech at my school is greatly lacking in actual knowledge.    I enjoyed watching him and another teacher trying to fix a laptop by dropping it on the floor to get it to turn back on.

I was able to find very few exercises for them.....need to find a solution urgently and share it with my students....thanks again....
