    Some yTeach resources contain video. The video downloads as it is being played. Only a portion of the video needs to be downloaded before it can be viewed. On slow or busy connections, video playback may proceed at a faster rate than the download, which will result in interruptions to the flow of the video. To ensure that playback is smooth and continuous, check the video progress bar and wait until the download is complete before playing the video.

    Speakers or headphones are recommended to get the most out of some elements of the yTeach resources, however they are not essential and yTeach resources can be used without them.

For best results, yTeach resources should be viewed in full screen mode. In your browser, select View > Full screen, or use the F11 key.

In the unlikely event that you encounter any problems with fonts while browsing the resources, please click here to install the missing symbols. You will be asked to save a file called setup_fonts.exe to your computer. When this has been saved, click the “Run” option (twice if necessary) and the files will install.
