Very nice jonesieboy. I even used sweary words when I viewed it for the first time. (in i nice way of course) I'm going to shout on Samantha to see what she thinks.
Mind you, I could have sworn I typed (without the spaces) [ graph ]3x+2[ /graph], and that's not the graph I'd have expected. There must be more to the syntax than I thought.
It stopped working whilst I fixed it so that it can cope with a plus sign! The original plugin I was using was basically broken, so I switched into geek mode and have hopefully fixed it now.
Hi jonesie! How are you! Just pottering about and came across this wee graph thing. I've got a wordpress blog too but can't get this to work in mine. Is there anything I might be missing??
At my visit to Musselburgh Grammar this morning, I spoke to some of the maths department about using Activote. They were enthusiastic about the potential of the technology, but said something like "it looks easy as you stand there and explain it, but we'll forget everything you've said by the time we next come to use it". So.... to provide a bit of backup, here's a step by step guide to using Activote with your class. The following assumes that the voting pads have been registered with your PC. If not, chase up IT! Setting up the User Database You'll want your pupil names to be stored in the system, so that their names appear at the top of the screen when you run a vote. Here's how.... In East Lothian, we have a problem - we don't have write-access to the place on the C drive where the user database is stored! To get around this, we need to copy the default user database to somewhere that is writeable, then tell ACTIVStudio that we've done so: I
I was most surprised today to discover that the top search phrase leading people to this blog over the last few weeks has been "the catburgers." This is the name of the indie band I was in back in the late '80s (I sang and played guitar). I can't imagine who might be looking for my old band, unless it is some kids in North Berwick who heard about the band through my son. Whoever it might be, I'll take advantage of this opportunity to post up some mp3s from the good old days, both recorded in 1987. I just realised that's 20 years ago! Time for a reunion tour of the states... anyway here are "Children's TV" and "First Day of Spring" for your entertainment: [audio:childrens-tv.mp3] [audio:first-day-of-spring.mp3] After all, you have to keep your visitors happy don't you?

ReplyDeleteOh dear Boys and their toys. Do you not pity those blog widows out there who have lost their husbands to the world of blogging.
ReplyDeleteHa ha. I tricked her into commenting on a blog for the first time. The only way is up. I think I'd better buy a second computer for her.
ReplyDeleteHi Samantha!
ReplyDeleteIt's only for the benefit of the kids, honest! It works in comments too:
[tex]y=x^2[/tex]
[graph]x^2[/graph]
Have a go! Just type [ graph ] without any spaces, then the rhs of the function - x^2 in the example I did, then [/ graph ] again without spaces.
Wow, it works. That's the easiest graph I've ever drwn.
ReplyDeleteI've got to try this... [graph]3*x+2[/graph]

ReplyDelete[graph](x^3)+2[/graph]
ReplyDeleteI must've typed something wrongly on my very first one. Please feel free to delete these. It is cool though :)
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed i can get it to work..
ReplyDelete[graph]3xsin(x)[/graph]
oh dear .. :S
ReplyDeleteHow about now?
ReplyDeleteYou just missed the brackets in sin(x) - I put them in for you, and it works now :)
ReplyDeleteWhat's going on with the time on this blog. Is it an hour ahead?
ReplyDeleteYeah - I'm still on BST :)
ReplyDelete[graph]3x-2[/graph]
ReplyDeleteHi jonesie!
ReplyDeleteHow are you!
Just pottering about and came across this wee graph thing. I've got a wordpress blog too but can't get this to work in mine. Is there anything I might be missing??
Hi Michael! Very well thanks. I've tweaked the plugin a bit - I'll email you a copy of exactly what I use.
