You will notice that our Tip Sheets are going through a makeover! It may take us a week or two to get into the new groove, but we're committed to providing you with a resource that everyone can benefit from. 

Each week, in addition to our usual tech tips and product updates, we'll endeavor to provide shared activities for Elementary, Middle, and High School students. We'll need your help, so we've implemented a new section: Teacher Spotlight. Here we'll introduce you to an amazing TeacherMader each week-- and if they have a side hustle on TpT or Etsy, there'll be links for you to follow! 

If you're interested in being in the Spotlight or just want to share some of your activities, please click here or email us at team@teachermade.com

This Week's Tuesday Tech Tip: 

Students Don't Need a TeacherMade Account!!

It's true... TeacherMade has a different "architecture" than most of the ed tech you use. We get that. Once you understand how we're different, you'll realize that in this age of data privacy concerns, TeacherMade is one less thing to worry about. 

Kate, our Customer Success manager, has made this video to show us how students are assigned TeacherMades and how they access the activities.

Update Surprise! Where did the Sharing button go?? 

This past week, veteran TeacherMaders may have been caught by surprise when "Sharing" was no longer on the left of the Worksheet Detail screen. Don't worry! You can still share a worksheet from the My Worksheets screen where all of your activities are listed. Find the three dots to the right of the activity you want to share and click to reveal a pop-up menu where Sharing is now located. (We're hoping this new location will be more intuitive for users and prevent the misconception that Sharing how students get access.)

See how to turn on ‘Sharing’ by reading our post here:
