Uploading problem
Apparently there are problems with uploading powerpoints (or other documents) into google docs (to embed on your blog).
The technician has confirmed that this is a problem with Internet Explorer. If you use another browser such as chrome, mozilla, safari or if you have a Mac, it will work on those.
He said we have to wait so until then you can use Mac's in media room (on lunch or after school) OR do it from home if you have another type of browser other than Internet Explorer.
THIS DOES NOT MEAN YOU DON'T DO WORK OR GETTING EXTENSIONS! - you have to keep up - I've explained the options.
I'll keep you informed.
