How to add Folders and resources

1. Select the group, and click “Folders” underneath the course name.

2. Click on “Add Folder”.

3. You will see another window which allows you to either select a folder you have already created by checking the box (very handy if you need to transfer resources year by year) or create a new Folder by selecting “New Folder”.

4. To add a new Folder, click on “New Folder”, add a title and click on “create”.

5. Click on the Folder name (this one is called Resources) to access or add resources.

6. Select “Add to Folder” and choose the files that you want to

upload.

Tip: When adding files, take time to label them properly at the start. This will save you a lot of time when you are trying to work out which of your resources is ‘Sheet 1’. Library

Another way to find your resources (and how pupils will find

them on their iPads) is to click the "Library" icon in the top

tool bar.

Use the left side panel to navigate around your library.

Note: Only the owner of a folder and any co-teachers can add

to a folder.
