Introducing Custom Lesson Sharing!

Have you ever created the perfect custom typing lesson and wished you could easily share it with colleagues down the hall or a fellow educator across the country? Now you can! We're excited to announce Custom Lesson Sharing, a new feature designed to help you save time, foster collaboration, and build connections with teachers everywhere.

What's New?

Right inside your Custom Lessons tab, you'll now find a new Share icon for every lesson you've created. This powerful little button allows you to generate a unique link for any of your custom lessons. When another teacher—anywhere in the world—opens this link, they can instantly add a copy of your lesson directly into their own account.

How Does It Work?

Sharing your hard work is simple:

1. Navigate to the Custom Lessons page in your teacher dashboard.

2. Locate the lesson you want to share.

3. Click the Share Icon on the far right of the lesson row.

4. A panel will open up below the icon, showing a unique link. Click "Copy Link".

5. Send the link to any other Typing.com teacher any way you would like.

When another teacher clicks your shared link, the experience is seamless.

• If they are already logged in, they will see a page with an option to directly "Add to my Custom Lessons".

• If they are not logged in, they will be prompted to sign in or create an account first. Once logged in, they can add the lesson to their collection.

If the recipient is an administrator, they can choose whether to add the lesson to their personal teacher account or to their admin account for school-wide use. A new, editable copy of your lesson will then appear in their own Custom Lessons list, ready for them to use or modify without affecting your original!

How Does This Help You?

Custom Lesson Sharing is designed to make your life easier and your teaching more collaborative:

• Save Time and Effort: No more re-creating the same vocabulary lists, historical documents, or assessment prompts. Create it once, and share it with everyone who needs it.

• Help Other Teachers: Share your best lessons with educators beyond your school walls.

• Ensure Team Consistency: Get your entire department or grade-level team on the same page by sharing standardized practice materials, warm-ups, or custom-built tests.

• Curate a School-Wide Library: Administrators can easily collect the best lessons from teachers and add them to their admin account, creating a shared, high-quality resource library for the entire school.

• Simplify Onboarding & Training: A lead teacher or administrator can create a "starter pack" of essential lessons and share them with new teachers—in their school or district—to get them up and running quickly.
