Re: posting our AR list to the web

[Mike Lishego <mlishego@ASHEBORO.COM>]

    I think everyone is making this harder than it really is.  Try
this - go to AR Teacher and select "view" and then "titles."  ( I
think it's titles...)  When you're viewing them, go to "edit" and
"select all."  Now, go to "reports" and choose the option that says
something along the lines of "Print title list."  It might say
something else, but you get the idea - you can list titles in some
manner from that screen.
    At some point, you'll want to sort the titles, either by author
or alphabetical order - I can't be 100% because I don't have AR in
front of me right now.  Now, you'll have a list of titles set out in
the same format you use for student reports.  You can print them or
"print to a file."  (It might even say something like "Save as" in
there - I'm not sure.)  If memory serves, I think there are two
buttons at the bottom of the screen with the "Print" and "Print to
file" commands.  Choose "Print to File" and you should be able to
save the list anywhere - just be sure to use the drop-down box at
the bottom of that pop-up window that allows you to choose what
format the list will be saved in.  I picked a .txt file and saved
it.  When I was done, I opened the text file in word, cut it, and
pasted it on our site.  It takes a while to load, but much less time
than an image.  Check out my Media Center AR website, produced in
this fashion...  http://www.asheboro.k12.nc.us/teachey/arlist.htm

Enjoy!
