Step 3: 

Once you've finished selecting the name, unit, start and end dates you can select the lessons you want to save to Resources and click the Share button at the bottom of the pop-up window. 

Step 4:

Step 1:

Click Resources in the menu bar at the top of the page. Resources is where you will find all of the Lessons, Lesson Groups and other items that have been shared to you or that you have shared to others. To learn more about lesson sharing, see this link.

Step 2:

In Resources, you can browse shared lessons, search for reusable items shared to you and create new reusable lessons to share with others. Click the Create a Lesson button.

Give your new lesson a title and select whether you want to begin with a template or start fresh with a blank page.

Step 3:

The final step is to add content to your new shared lesson plan. This is done the same way as in other areas of the lesson planner -- simply add text, images, video or other elements to the editing canvas. Don’t forget to add attachments from your computer or from Google Drive or link to external sites or resources on the internet if appropriate.

Just as with other shared lessons you can import your new lesson into specific classes on your schedule. Either overwrite or shift existing lessons to accommodate your new lesson and you’re done.

Of course you don’t have to import your new shared lessons right away. You can plan lessons directly within Resources and then, when ready, import them to your planner to associate with relevant standards and curriculum.

Step 1:

Click the Resources button in the menu bar at the top of the page. You can also access this page by clicking the Import button from within the lesson editor.

Step 2:

Once in Resources, you can search for your lessons in a few different places. By selecting your Groups, you will view lessons shared within your district, school or team that you belong to as a whole. You can select “Everything” to see all lessons you have access to, “Shared with me” to see lessons shared directly to you, or search by selecting the Groups that you belong to.

Step 3:

Once you’ve found the lesson plan or lesson group you’re looking to import, more information will appear about the lesson on the right-hand side of the screen. This will tell you who the lesson has been shared with, the title and allow you to preview the lesson before you import it.

Select Import on the lesson plan.

Step 4:

Choose the calendar date of the lesson plan in your planner you would like to import the shared lesson to.

Step 5:

Select the class that you would like to import the lesson plan to.

Step 6:

If your target lesson plan is currently empty, you will skip to the next step. If the lesson date you are importing to already has content, you will need to decide whether you would like to append, shift or overwrite the current content on that date.

Append will add your imported lesson content after the existing content in your target lesson. Shift will move the content and all of the future content for that subject or section forward one day. Overwrite will replace the content in your planner for that date and class, which will delete the content already there and cannot be undone.

After making your selection, click Confirm.

Step 7:

You’re done! A confirmation window will appear, and you can click View It Now to be taken to the imported lesson in your planner.
