CREATE A COLLECTION

A collection is a playlist of resources. Assemble a variety of learning resources on one topic to create a collection that you can share with your students. First, when you find a resource that you want to include in your collection, drag it into +New Collection on the right side of the page. Second, you’ll be prompted to give your collection a title — if you don’t have a grade or course in mind for your collection yet, you can fill in that information later. Once you’re finished naming your collection, click Ok. Third, you’ll see your new collection appear on the right side of the page. Now you can continue searching for resources to drag and drop into your collection. You can also customize your collection by reordering resources and filling in information like grade, course and vocabulary words.

CONGRATULATIONS!

You’re ready to start searching, creating and customizing on Gooru on your own.
