Setting up your computer: Shockwave plug-in

Do you see something here?
Version 11 of the Shockwave plug-in is required for PC and Intel-based Mac users, and version 10 is required for PowerPC Mac users. If
  • you do not see a message, or
  • the message indicates your browser has an earlier version of the Shockwave plug-in, install the Shockwave plug-in. See below for instructions.

Install the Shockwave plug-in

The Shockwave plug-in is required for modules 3–5. If you are only using modules K–2, you do not need to install this plug-in in your browser. Click the button below to download and install it off of the web.

PC Users: You can install Shockwave 11, but your browser will install additional plug-in pieces the first time you open a Shockwave activity. You must be online to do this. If you have problems with this process, please email support@fossweb.com.

Intel-based Mac Users: Please make sure you have version 11.5 or higher of the Shockwave player.

PowerPC Users: Do not install Shockwave version 11. You can download Shockwave 10 from the button below by clicking on the Shockwave Player 10 (Mac PPC) link on that page. Or, download it from our site.

Get Shockwave Player

FOSS does not support the Shockwave plug-in. If you have questions about the installation process or other features, refer to the Adobe website (http://www.adobe.com).

Note: Downloading the plug-in could take about 30 minutes over a dial-up or similar-speed connection.
