Help and Support : Downloading Resources
link How do I download a resource?
Click into one of the subject sections and select a topic listed by year group or key stage. From here you will see a list of resources for that subject or topic area. Next click on the title of the resource that you would like to download and view. Clickteaching recommends opening the file directly from the site. You also have an option of saving the file directly to your hard drive.

link Do you have resources in other formats?
Most or our resource libraries present the resources in multiple file formats. On the right-hand side of the resource listing you will see the available download options for each resource file. Choose the format you require by clicking on the icon (formats include: Adobe Acrobat, Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Excel and Macromedia Flash).

link How long will it take?
Next to the title of each resource is an indication of the file size. The bigger the file size the longer it takes to download. Due to the nature of the internet download times can be quicker or slower at different times of the day.

link How big are the files?
Many of our resources are under 100kb in size and should take less than half a minute to download. We have used a compression program [a zip file] for some of our larger resources to help with the speed of downloading.

link What type of file will I get?
Most of our resources are presented in Adobe Acrobat (pdf). We have chosen this type of file because it can be read across all computer platforms. It enables our resources to be viewed and used by everybody. However, some of our resources for reasons of usability are presented in other formats. The type of file is listed next to the name of the resource. Please check that you have the correct program before downloading.

link It seems to be taking ages to load?
Sometimes the web seems to slow down. This is due to the number of users connected to our site and the path that the data has to take between Clickteaching and your ISP. Unfortunately, sometimes routes between websites and your computer become blocked and the information takes longer to arrive. Under these circumstances it is better to wait a few seconds to see if the situation improves rather than click on the stop or refresh button. All resources should open in a new window so that you can continue browsing whilst waiting for the resource to download.

link There seems to be pieces missing on the page?
If you are downloading resources using Acrobat Reader, you might experience some occasions when it appears that parts of the resource are missing. Acrobat reader will report that the page is done in the bottom left hand corner of the window when it is still downloading other elements in the background. If some parts of the page are missing then you need to click the refresh button or reload the entire page to bring up the missing parts. If you continue to have problems then try saving the file to your hard drive.
