Teacher options

The Teacher’s utilities can be accessed by

using the keyboard shortcut: < shift>,

The Teacher’s utilities allow you to control how you would like 2Simple Modelling Toolkit

to work in your classroom. Some elements of the Teacher options menu determine global

functionality, some are specific to individual activities and allow you to define specific

parameters.

Eg. The Teacher’s Utilities allow you to

determine what and how different

elements of the software can be used.

Using the utilities menu you can

choose to make accessible to children

any combination of activities and

activity tasks. You can also stipulate

what printing capabilities you would

like to be available.

Saving your settings

2Simple Modelling Toolkit has two options for saving settings, ‘Set as default’ and ‘Back to

menu.

Save as default

By selecting ‘Save as default’ once you have made changes to the program settings you are

choosing to have your choices reinstated for all future use of the software. You should

choose to ‘Save as default’ when you have identified and selected the most appropriate

options for the children using the software. Eg. You might choose to de-select ‘Allow

immediate task exit’ as a default to ensure that children using the software are encouraged

to complete each task that they start before moving on and exploring other activities.

There are no restrictions as to the number of times you can change the default settings.

To set new defaults,
