This week I figured out how to transfer Hearbuilder data
from one computer to another. So if you
are switching computers and want to keep your data from Hearbuilder software
(e.g., Following Directions,
Phonological Awareness, or Sequencing), here is how you do it.
First if you are planning to transfer the data to a new
computer, open the Hearbuilder program on the new computer and add student
name. This will create a location to transfer the data to.
Now the tricky part, you have to locate where Hearbuilder
stores the data on your computer.
Hearbuilder uses Flash Player and stores data as cookies in the flash
player folder stored on your C drive within your username. Hearbuilder warns that these files can be erased
from cleaning out your cookies (which I’ve done twice). The simplest way to
locate where they are stored will probably be to search for one of the file
names.
In Windows 7:
Open the start menu, click on Computer, and click on (C:). Click in the search box located in the upper
right of the window. Type in one of the following (depending on what you are
looking for):
FollowingDirections.exe (for the Following Directions game)
HB_Sequencing.exe (for the Sequencing game) or
HearBuilderPA.exe (for the Phonological Awareness game)
Then click search. When the searching is done a folder
within the C drive should be found. Right click on that folder and click open
folder location.
Copy the folder or folders named above to a flash drive or
sd card.
Use the same process described above to locate the
Hearbuilder software file you created on your new computer.
Replace the folder/folders on the new computer with the
folder/folders saved on you flash drive or sd card.
