Multiple Directors
I have been identified as the second director but I cannot access any of the classes. The site requires me to pay for a subscription. Me and the first director are under the same church and we have already paid for our subsciptions. Is there a way to bypass this? Or can there only be one director?
Thank You!
Hello Chelsea,
Happy to help! I have fixed your access issue and verified that you are able to access your classes via https://myanswers.com/edu/manage. Please let us know if you have any further questions or issues!

Using the powerpoint from any device
Are all devices compatible to cast or share powerpoint to a bigger screen tv (mobile, ipad/tablet, computer)?
Hello Chelsea,
If your smart device (phone/tablet) and TV both have an app called Miracast, then wireless casting is available. If not, Chromecast, Roku, and other smart streaming devices offer some form of mirroring function.
If it doesn't have to be a wireless connection, there are adapters out there to plug an HDMI cable from your smart device/computer into your TV directly, allowing you to use it as a second screen.
Please let us know if you need any further assistance. Thanks!
Facebook Ads
Are there any Mystery Islands graphics that work better than others for use in Facebook Ads? Or are there specific graphics that have been created for that purpose that could be made available?

Can there be automatic special lessons brought into schedule? Like for instance--Easter--then continue on normal curriculum path...
Integrate ABC Digital into my Church's website so parents can engage with the material as desired...
Hello John,
Thanks for your feedback! ABC Digital provides a central location from which Directors, Teachers, and students/parents can interact with the curriculum.
Directors can access all the classes, Teachers can access the classes they have been added to by Directors, and students/parents can access the lesson material via this process:

Please let us know if you have any more questions or issues!

ABC Digital
The digital resources are priced too high to use as an add on to the printed materials. Will you be offering these as a part of a package deal with the printed materials that will make it more affordable? Maybe a couple dollars per unit per class would be more appropriately priced and more appealing.
Hello Matt,
Thank you for sharing your concerns regarding digital resources with the printed materials.
To be clear, the digital resources unlocked with access codes from your printed ABC materials will remain free and can be accessed from the ABC Resources page here: https://myanswers.com/edu/resources/.
These resources are also included on our ABC Digital platform, which you were trying out over the past year while it was in free early access. This online-only tool provides more than extra digital resources—it allows access to the lesson materials on any device, plus you can download and print PDF versions of the lesson materials for your use.
For your convenience, Please see this Comparison Chart for ABC Digital.
Again, if you just want to unlock the resources you've been using with your print materials, no subscription to ABC Digital is required.
If you need any further assistance, please let us know and we will be happy to help!

Can you make the date box for the "Previous Lesson" a different color (like red or orange)?
This would help to visually make it stand out from all the rest of the lessons, similar to how the "Current Lesson" stands out in green.
Current lesson on wrong date
I went through the steps to postpone our lessons to allow for Thanksgiving and Christmas lessons, but now our "current lesson" is showing on the wrong date. It shows the current lesson is the week following the current date. Can this be fixed?
Hi Amy,
I just updated your classes so their current lesson is set to Lesson 21 on Jan 3rd. Please let us know if you need anything else!

Scheduling for Lessons and Rotating Teachers--One Class
I am coordinating one class with rotating teachers. I want teachers to only receive emails for their specific lessons, not every week. I want to be able to assign specific teachers to specific lessons.
We are using this for what we call Children's Church--which occurs in parallel with our normal Worship. Each week--the teacher rotates. How can we make this work that way I'd like it to work.
Hi John,
Thanks for your feedback! Unfortunately, ABC Digital does not currently support assigning teachers to specific lessons. You can either have a single teacher assigned to a class or multiple teachers assigned to it, but for individual lessons, we only support substitute teachers. That's intended as a one-off fill-in role, so it doesn't really fit your use case. Emails will send to each teacher each week by default, but those can be turned off in the email settings.
Instead, I'd suggest adding all your teachers to the class and then set up a separate shared spreadsheet so you can keep track of which teacher is teaching each week. I agree with you that would be a big improvement to the system and I'll pass on your request to our developers so they're aware, but I'm not able to promise anything.
Blessings,
Arthur
