GLIDE INSTRUCTIONS

  • You will sign in with your email address and PIN to allow you to later edit a resource you add to the collection. You can leave the collection open via a browser tab on your device. Bookmark it or save it as an icon to your device screen to access later.

  • To add a resource, tap the + at the upper right corner of the screen. This works from your computer screen or mobile device screen.

  • Before adding a resource, please first use the search box to see if the resource has already been added.

  • The collection can be accessed via the menu (upper left 3 lines) or the icons at the bottom of the screen. If your content area/target audience/grade level isn't listed, it's because no one has yet uploaded a resource with those tags.

  • While this tool responds as if it's an app, it is NOT an app - you won't find it in any app store. Glide is a tool that let's you look at a spreadsheet in a way that makes it appear as though it's an app. From my experience with Glide, it's best to avoid the word app and just call it a "resource collection" or "tool."

  • Now, it's time to harness the power of the community to load resources into the collection. Lynne McKnight Herr is a volunteer tech coach who recruited help for the setup (thanks to her new friend Kyle, a Glide using guy from a regional Canadian health center). Want to access great literacy resources? Help add them! Looking for AP or IB resources? Wellbeing?Jump in, search the group and add them!

  • Thanks in advance for your patience. This is version 1.0 and I know it won't meet the needs of everyone. For now, let's get the resources that have been shared and we'll refine the collection over time.

  • NOTE: Glide works with Google Sheets only. I realize this is an issue for many educators in China, but it's the best option I have right now.
