How to Use the MFL Website
|
|
All links in the MFL Website are in the National Curriculum
colour of light green. When you hover over a link with your
mouse the light green text changes to white text in a light
green background. Any external links, i.e. to another Internet
site, are opened in a new browser window.
Other helpful hints, which are to do with
particular features of the site, are shown below:

Home Page
|
On the MFL
Home Page there are links to the A-Z
Index, Site Map, MFL
Advisory Team contact details, Feedback
Form and these Useful Guidelines.
There are also images that link into the 'Notices, Letters
& Agendas' page and the 'Reminders &
Dates'
page. These images, which will be the same on all of the
Curriculum Websites, are shown below:
|

 |
Notices, Letters & Agendas |
 |
Reminders & Dates |
|

|
Navigation
|
There are headings along the top of each page
located under the main header. Each of these headings
takes you to a menu page with links to other pages within this
area. Using this navigation or by using the Site
Map you can browse the site.
If you know what you are looking for, you might find
the A-Z Index
useful. There is a link to this page from the MFL
Home Page and is it cross-referenced for easy of use, e.g.
the 'Reminders and Dates Page' can be found in the 'R' and in
the 'D' sections.

Adobe Acrobat and .pdf files
|
South Gloucestershire Council use
Adobe Acrobat for certain documents on the web. They
allow for an exact duplication of the document which is very
useful for printing or referring to, e.g. page 24 of a
document will look the same on every computer screen, whatever
browser or screen resolution you are using.
Adobe Acrobat files are also called pdf files and have .pfd as
the extension to their name instead of .doc or .xls (which are
Microsoft Word and Excel files). Pdf stands for Portable Document
Format.
Pdf files are indicated on the Advisory Website by either the symbol
or the use of text like "Adobe Acrobat (57kb)" which
also indicates the size of the file.
To read these files you need to download and
install Adobe Acrobat reader, which are free to download and
can be found at the Adobe
Acrobat website. The first time you open the reader
when accessing our pages may be slow, but if you then leave
the reader open and access other pages you will notice that it
is much quicker to use.
