One of the biggest cause of problems with Skills Iowa's two programs, Assessment Center and Skills Tutor is the use of pop up blockers. If you are having a problem with a page not appearing, check to see if your pop up blocker is on. It may be that you have more than one pop up blocker in effect on your computer. Start by going to the Tools menu on a windows machine or the Safari menu on a Mac. If the pop up is on, turn it off, or tell it to allow pop ups for this web site. Next, you might have a pop up blocker in a Google tool bar. Turn this off as well. If neither of these solutions works, try holding down on the control key while you execute the unsuccessful comand again.
It is possible that the school has a pop up blocker on that can only be administered by your tech person. If this is the case, you must ask him/her to allow pop ups for ac.corek12.com and www.myskillstutor.com.
The short word on pop ups is that they will create problems for Skills Iowa's programs.
This blog is designed to assist and inspire Skills Iowa schools in their efforts to improve student learning.

OK, I turned off my pop up blocker, and my report still didn't load....
If you are like many people, you may still have another pop up blocker in force. People using a Windows machine frequently have a Google Toolbar installed that can also have a pop up blocker. If you see a Google search bar at the top of your browser window, look to the right of it. If you see something like "2 sites blocked" you have another pop up blocker in place. You can either turn it off, or have it allow the Skills Iowa sites.
Pop up blockers are not the friends of Skills Iowa!
