Nibble U is in a state of re-organization. The web host
that held the NU files was no longer able to support the size of the website.
Therefore, I have moved NU to a new web host company. It will take a while
to check all the pages (over 6000 of them) and links. Forms and other
features that required cooperation with the server will need to be re-configured
with new software before they will work properly.
I have decided to
remove grade 2 and 3 from NU in order to concentrate on grades 4-6. I
may add them back at a later date. There is so much to do, and I'm afraid
it will take my retirement from teaching before I'll have the time to
make sweeping changes and additions. So, please be patient as I re-organize
the website. Please email me to inform me about any problems. It would
be a big help.
I have moved the
Bird Nerd part of Nibble University to its own domain - akabirdnerd.com
. I will leave a link to it here on Nibble U for your convenience. It
was necessary to separate the birding data from NU because the birding
photos take up so much hard drive space.

A neat hangman game has been added to the Recess
section (countries of the world). I have started working on Geography
Lessons. Grades 3 - 6 have an extensive Landforms
unit. It includes flashcards, various puzzles, hangman, study guides and
tests. Sixty landform vocabulary words are included for grades 5 - 6.
Thirty landform vocabulary words are included for grades 3 - 4. New puzzle
software and study guide/test software was purchased to provide greater
interactivity.

Nibble U code is being adjusted to work with Firefox and other
new browsers. Firefox had trouble with the date javascripts on NU. I discovered
a problem related to the old Y2K issue and hopefully re-coded the pages
so Firefox will work OK. Recent tests look good. Email me if you find
difficulties. I'm not a big Firefox fan. I would recommend using Safari
for MAC and Internet Explorer for PC.
More information
added to the Data Bank.

The Nibble University 2001-2002 school term begins on September 1 for
the Muslim calendar and September 3 for the Western calendar. Valid dates
run to August 31, 2002, though lessons finish around the first week of
June. If you enter a date for a back lesson that does not fall between
Sept. 1, 2001 and Aug. 31, 2002 or you try to access a lesson before the
Nibble University term starts, you will get an undefined
error. The Nibble University computer cannot find a lesson that
does not exist.
