Technology Requirements

Viewing the Online Training is easy. Follow the four steps below and you’ll be ready to start!

  • 1. You will need a Flash player, which most computers already have. If you do not have a flash player you can download one at http://www.macromedia.com/downloads and under "Download Free Player" choose "Macromedia Flash Player".
  • 2. You will need to enable pop ups. You have two options.
    • A. Search your computer for any software with "pop-up" in the name. Disable it or set the Places We Live Online Training as an allowed site. Examples of popular pop-up blocking applications include: Pop-Up Stopper, Pop-Up Defender, and Pop-Up Zapper.
    • B. Pop-up blocking is included in some web browsers, and in some anti-virus, firewall, and security programs. Disable the relevant setting in the program or set Places We Live Online Training as an allowed site.

      Examples of programs that include pop-up blocking functions include the following. Click the links to read configuration information.

      * Norton Internet Security
      * Yahoo! Toolbar
      * MSN Toolbar
      * AOL 8.0 and later
      * Microsoft Windows XP, Service Pack 2
      * Mozilla/Netscape

      • Note: If your program is not listed here, refer to the Help section in your program.
  • 3. Turn on your speakers. If you do not have speakers, the Getting Started Page will explain how to print a copy of the script.
  • 4. Finally, if you would like print a copy of the getting started and technology requirements handout, script, Sunshine State Standard connections, or resource lists you will need Adobe Reader. Most computers also come with this software, but if not, it can be downloaded for *free* from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html.
