9 - Activity Library

Overview

Before creating your own activities for students, it's worth taking a peek at the Activity Library! Here, you can browse through a large collection of resources created by teachers around the world. You can search by grade level, subject area, and easily assign the activity to your students.

Additionally, the district and individual schools will be able to curate a repository of activities, so that teachers can coordinate activities across grade levels. More info to come on this!
