The intention is that you can use the links to quickly move back and forth between tasks and standards.

You can also search for materials or standards by typing a few key words into the "Find" box at the top of the screen.

Downloading Files

PC users will need Adobe Reader (or another application that can display PDF files) to see the downloaded tasks/rubrics. This is available as a free download from www.adobe.com. Mac users do not need any extra software.

In Internet Explorer (PC) or Safari (Mac), the downloads will open in your browser window - use your browser's back button to get back to the database. To save a download to disk without opening it, right-click (Ctrl-click for Mac users) on the link and choose the "Save as"/"Download" option (the exact wording depends on your browser).
