zigzag Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 What can the learning journeys be downloaded onto by parents? I was asking for USBs so that I could download them for them but it now seems that this would be pointless as no one now seems to have a PC! I am now charging a printing fee and printing the journal out for them. Can the journals be downloaded onto a phone or a tablet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest they download it on to a phone though unless they have good icloud storage...the files are quite big!. I offered printing the first year (nightmare won't do it again!) the second year I did memory sticks and the 3rd I did pdf's (easier and cheaper and you can keep a track of who has downloaded and give them a reminder. ) there were one or two who chose not to ...that's their choice I guess. For schools I use usb's and send them securely or pass them on personally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elizabeth_Heaton Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Could I ask, for parents to download as a pdf, can they do this via the Tapestry app or do they need to log in to the Tapestry website? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zigzag Posted July 13, 2019 Author Share Posted July 13, 2019 Had a nightmare this year. I always make the journals available to download and ask parents for a usb so I can also download for them. This year have been chasing parents for usbs and not getting very far, then I realised does anyone even have a pc or laptop anymore. So I asked the question and it turns out they don’t, so why didn’t they tell me!😡. Offered to print them out but on the understanding they would have to pay. Printed one journal as a test run and it tool a whole colour cartridge which cost £29 😲 and was 175 pages long. Then by accident another journal started printing and got half way through before I realised and of course the parent then messaged to say they didn’t want it due to the cost. I suggested they contact a firm and see If they could get them printed and bound cheaper. This went on with everyone having different suggestions until in the end I washed my hands of it. I have downloaded onto usb for them as back up and urged them all to download onto their phones/tablets. Does anyone else find that parents expect such a lot done for them these days? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouseketeer Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Totally zigzag ...constant hand holding to get anything done/returned. I haven’t given any thought to how mine are getting theirs, I was that disillusioned with their lack of effort last year that you wonder why you bother, but hey I have 2 days lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
