You will have to have a licensed copy of Boardmaker to subscribe to Print Editor and your subscription will be tied to your Adapted Learning log on (and if you share your log on only one person can use Print Editor at a time - which I think is very generous, they could have made it so only one person can log on at a time). At first it will be credit cards only, no purchase orders (some kinks to work out of the system before they can offer P.O.s). It will cost about $80 a year, less if you sign up for multiple years.
Of course the question people ask when something comes out of beta is, "how much?" Print Editor will be a subscription service. Our time is always at a premium, so the more of it we spend on customizing and the less on saving to flash drives, carrying to another computer, opening in Boardmaker, editting and then printing the better. If teachers can easily open boards and change them, without too many extra steps getting in the way, I think they are more likely to customize those boards. I think Print Editor may actually cut down on that.
#LOST BOARDMAKER CD DOWNLOAD#
I have heard from some parents who are worried that teachers will use Print Editor to download boards without changing them and hand them out to kids with out putting any though into curriculum or methodology. I use the multiple board feature frequently. My favorite thing is that Bob told me the developers are very close to fixing the bug that wouldn't allow you to print out multiple boards saved as one board.
You can clear one button or multiple buttons (allowing you to create a template from a board in one fell swoop). You can change buttons - everything from the symbols in them to the text, to the lines, to symbolation. The only thing you really can't do is create symbolated text, but you can edit symbolated text).
#LOST BOARDMAKER CD FULL#
The key thing to remember is that it is an editor not a creator (although from what I saw in the web conference you can come very, very close to creating full materials with Print Editor, which is very cool for some of those crazy, last minute kind of days when everything is working against you. Although it shouldn't be expected to do everything Boardmaker does it actually comes very close. Print Editor is a very rich application within an application. This will eliminate the issues many of us have with not being allowed to download files or not having Boardmaker installed on the same computer as the internet. No downloading, no need for you Boardmaker disc. Print Editor is a feature of Adapted Learning that will allow you to open files stored your "my files" section of Adapted Learning and change them before directly printing them. Yesterday I had a very interesting web conference with Bob from Mayer-Johnson about some of the features they are planning for their new Print Editor (which remains in public beta if you want to try it out).
