We are using Microsoft SharePoint to distribute our home learning videos. There are some compatibility issues when using SharePoint with Apple devices and so, to ensure that the videos will play correctly, students should ideally use a Windows device.
If you are using an Apple device such as an iPad and find that the videos do not play, you will need to download the Microsoft Edge browser, which is available free from the App Store and use this to access Frog, rather than Safari. This will resolve the issue of videos not playing.
One way to access the videos which might prove helpful, if you do not have access to a Windows or Android device, or are trying to access the work on a phone, is to try is try using an Xbox or PlayStation, if you have one of these available. Please see the guide below on how these devices can be used to access home learning materials.
Using Xbox
- Plug a keyboard into the Xbox USB port
- Go into my games and apps
- Find Microsoft Edge and select
- Access frog as you usually would
- You can then access frog and Office 365 etc to access your work and emails etc
- To move around you can use your Xbox controller or you can plug in a USB mouse
Using PlayStation
- Find the PlayStation internet browser icon (it is www with dots around it)
- Press the PlayStation logo on the controller
- Go to the library and find options for games and applications
- Go in to applications and you will find the internet browser
- Access frog as you usually would
- You can then access frog and Office 365 etc to access your work and emails etc
- To move around you can use your Xbox controller or you can plug in a USB mouse
