Notes:

• Because of variations in the Internet, some of the pages with long animations may take a while to download.
• The VISITview server has a one hour timeout and will disconnect you after this period of time without changing pages. Simply press Shift + Reload to re-connect if this happens.
• VISITview lessons started by clicking on the links above are not collaborative in order to allow many students to be independently viewing the lessons at the same time. The appropriate links are available if you want to use this site collaboratively. Please ask:
