I’m high school ELA. For any formal writing activity, make sure you include a rubric so it’s easy for teachers to assess!

@BeccaDavis Жыл бұрын

That’s a great suggestion!

One thing I like to do if there's a reading passage involved in the resource is to create a modified version by making important ideas in bold, or key terms in bold and adding sentence starters to answers.

That’s such an awesome idea for differentiation!

#11 unexpected added value...you can add a free item/activity to your product as an unexpected extra. This is something I do from time-to-time, which usually gets teachers really excited and helps with the feedback!

That’s so fun! What kind of things do you add?

Consider adding an easy to cut version if you have an activity that would require a lot of cutting out (like puzzles). For me the editable aspect is important. I work with kids of different ages and levels, so I need my stuff to be editable to allow me to use it in different ways with different students. Personally, if I had to choose between two similar products, but one has editable elements and one doesn't, I would choose the editable one. And also, add blanks, blank cards, blank slides, etc. It adds a lot of value.

Thanks for the insight! Yes, having blank cards is a great idea!

Can you do a video on how to upload to TPT including printed and digital versions? It’s a daunting task for me 😂

I try to make most of my product bilingual (English & Spanish) to add value.

@BeccaDavis Жыл бұрын

That is super helpful for a lot of people!

All of my resources have videos of what looks like a desk set up with a computer, where it looks like someone is scrolling the product.

That really helps people see

Do you include all of the versions in 1 product, or are the black and white and color versions sold seperately?

Hi Becca, thanks for the tips. I am in Canada and I wonder if when creating content or lessons I should be following school textbooks and curricula or would any random useful learner-friendly activity work ?

@BeccaDavis Жыл бұрын

I would not follow any textbooks- too likely that the textbook company would get upset because it’s too likely that you’ll infringe on copyright. Just focus on the content and concepts individually

Don't follow a textbook-- they change often, different school boards use different text books, and if you're in Ontario, you understand how our government is changing all the curriculums without providing new resources. I rarely find a text book in classes now. Make sure you are following your province's curriculum documents though. Providing rubrics that match the curriculum guidelines, providing what Overall and Specific Expectation are covered (Ontario), is very helpful.

I've been thinking about adding digital versions of things to my products with this paper shortage we're having. Do you have a video about uploading both paper and digital versions to the same product on TPT?

@timeaturai7126 Жыл бұрын

You can make a PDF for the digital one and add the link to the resource in the pdf. Then, you can zip the PDF for the digital and the PDF for the printable resources and upload them as a zip file.

@whimsicalteachertube3435 Жыл бұрын

@@timeaturai7126 I was thinking that's what I should do. I'll have to look it up again, because I tested my links in a saved PDF the other day, and they didn't work :( I just made QR codes instead.

@BeccaDavis Жыл бұрын

I do mind the opposite way. I make a folder on Google and add the digital version and then add the PDF to the folder. I find that a lot easier than trying to force a copy. I had the whole folder to TpT

@RockeeMusikReads Жыл бұрын

Can someone elaborate more on how you protect your resources when you provide editable versions?

@RockeeMusikReads Жыл бұрын

And thank you, Becca! Your tips and advice are really helpful! 😊

@BeccaDavis Жыл бұрын

You have to protect it and then add the editable layers over top. The easiest thing to do is to save the non editable part as a picture and insert that into the background. There’s also softwares that will allow you to add editable portions to a pdf

@@BeccaDavis Hi Becca. Do you have a video that explains more about this process and protecting your work? Ive been making most of my stuff editable but now Im starting to see there are some cons about doing this.
