The interface is great!

Just one suggestion to put on your to do list for the future: Have the supplement tabs for browsing the supplement for the whole unit also on the main page for each Unit, instead of just under a week.

Thanks for all your hard work to make TOG so usable!

Hi, Janet!

If your suggestion is what I think it is, we've already done that.

If you want to see all of the Government documents for the whole unit (not individually), go to the Unit drop down and select Government. On the far left in the slate is a link for the entire unit's documents all merged into one document. We've done that with each supplement (and Evaluations is split out into the four levels).

Is that what you were asking or did I misunderstand your suggestion?

I just wanted to say a big "thanks" for offering the supplements under the weeks and by unit. I'm sure this was a bit of extra work for the developers, but it is a big time saver when preparing the supplements. I love having both options! When I'm planning for the unit, I prefer to see all of geography at a glance and plan our maps. However, it's great to have the pieces linked by week as we travel through the unit.

Thank you all for listening to customer feedback and striving to make this program so easy to use. You are appreciated!!!!

Eia,

I'll let you in on a secret from The Care and Feeding of Ray: Comments like yours make all the hard work worth it.

It's only by the comments and suggestions from our customers that we've been able to make Tapestry the way it is. All of you come up with ideas that we wouldn't have dreamed of, but then we think, "Oh, that is a BRILLIANT idea!"

If you mean to go to the "Unit 1 Introduction" drop down, I see it now. Thanks so much! And I echo Eia's comment! You have made this so flexible to meet not only many different families' needs, but also the varying needs of each family. (And it also always looks so professional and attractive, too!) Thanks!

Ray,

Every time I look at this stuff, I feel like I am loosing it. I am using Y4 and am not sure but don't think I have a drop down by unit. Am I missing something, which is very possible.

Thanks,

In the new interface, right above the first week for each unit, there is a section for unit-wide documents (and documents to use before starting the unit).

Lynne,
Let me see if this helps at all.
1) Open up TOG Y4
2) Click on Unit 1
This opens up a page that has cover picture on the left of the screen that allows you to browse the full unit. On the right of the screen you have a list: Unit 1 intro., week 1, week 2, and so on.....
3) Click on Unit 1 Introduction.
This will open up another drop down list with Curriculum links as well as all supplements. If you were to click on one of these it will give you what you need for the entire unit.
If you were to click on the Week 1, Week 2, and so on, you would get what you needed by week.
I don't know if that helps you or not. I sometimes need a complete walk through before I get the "Ahh ha" moment.
Blessings,
Mindy

Ah, I see it now, you have to scroll down to see it...

Thanks for all your help!
