Zamzar to the Rescue for File Opening Issues

Are your students having difficulties opening files from home at school?

It is very important to remind students to save word processing documents as .doc or .rtf as other file formats will not open at school.

.docx and .pptx files will not open at school.

Encourage students to carry flash drives and have email accounts to facilitate the transfer of data between home and school.

If all else fails, direct them to Zamzar.
Zamzar is a free file conversion site.

I have introduced many students to this site and found it extremely helpful.

If anyone has any other tips, pass them along!
