Posting Guidelines

Suggestions to keep our community happy and useful:

• Don't be shy about posting. Even if you all you have is a promising idea, post it. Maybe someone else will run with it.
  • Post the body of your lesson plan as a regular webpage (ie, type it into the editing window) so it's easier to view. Post handouts as attachments.
  • If you post a lesson plan, try to make it as complete as possible. Include necessary links, handouts, etc. if you have them.
  • Understand that when you post something, it may get edited.
• Don't be shy about editing someone else's work.
  
  • If you change a lesson plan, but you're really adapting it for your purposes rather than objectively improving it, post your new plan seperately, alongside the old one.
• Each index page has three sections, Ideas and Resource Links, Lesson Plans and Unit Plans. File your contributions accordingly.
  • If you find a lesson plan particularly useful, drag it to the top of the section it is listed in. I'd like to get some kind of 1-5 star rating system that would sort them automatically, but for now, this will have to do.
  • Use the comments section at the bottom of each page to make more substative (constructive) comments about a lesson plan.
• To save time, you can use one of the templates when you want to make a new 3 or 5 step lesson plan.
  
  • There's also a template for adding a new page to the menu tree--like, say, 'Elementary--Foreign Language--Spanish' or 'High School--Social Studies--US History--Civil War'.
• All material posted to this site is subject to a Creative Commons License, which means basically that it partially enters the public domain. Click the link if you want to know more about that kind of thing.
  • DON'T POST ANY COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL. For example, if you've made a Powerpoint slideshow with copyrighted photographs. I'll be posting some suggestions later about finding resources that are in the public domain.
  • To post a link use the html editor - example: SB Dunks
