Editors: How Do I Share My Created Content?

Users with the School or District Editor role have the ability to share their personalized and created content with other users. To learn more about sharing your personalized versions of assignments, click here.

Creating and Sharing New Materials

Editors can create and share new materials. To share a new activity, additional steps are required before creating the new activities.

The first step is to create a new course in Kiddom:

1. To create a new course, click on the blue Create Content button and select the Course option from the pop-up menu.

2. After creating the course, name the course and create at least one unit in the course by clicking on the New Unit button and naming that unit.

3. Within the unit, there is a default lesson plan. Additionally, new lesson plans can be created by clicking on the New Lesson Plan button. The new lesson plans will serve as folders for storing all the activities intended for sharing with colleagues.

   Note: It is recommended to use descriptive titles for the lesson plans and consider utilizing the Description box to inform users of the activities contained within that lesson.

5. Upon opening the lesson plan, a default assignment and a default assessment are available, which can be used to create new materials within that lesson plan folder. Similarly, there are New Activity and New Assessment buttons to create new materials within this lesson plan.

Once created, Editors can develop activities and assessments following the same steps a teacher would for creating a new activity. This article demonstrates the process of creating a new activity.

I Created a Course. Where Will Other Educators Find It?

After completing the creation of your course, it must be shared with your school/district. To do so, follow these steps:

1. Return to your Curriculum page. Below your digital curricula, you will find a section called My Curriculum with a tile for your course.
2. Click the tile and click the Open in Editor button in the top right corner. This will reopen your course in Editor Mode (this is also how you can make changes or add new materials to your course later on).

3. In the top right of the course, click on the 3-dot menu and select Share. This will open a dialogue box for you to add one or more grade levels and one or more subjects to this course.

   Note: Including at least one grade level and one subject is necessary to share the course; however, the selection will not have any other effect on the content.

4. Then click Share to School to share the materials with your colleagues.

Once shared, the course will appear in their My Curriculum section of their Curriculum page. They will be able to access all of the materials within the course and create their own personalized versions of the materials without affecting the original version created, just as teachers can create personalized versions of published curriculum content.
