How to Use the TpT Digital Tool for Online Learning

Need digital tools or lessons to teach your students—for distance learning, hybrid learning, or homeschooling?

Did you know…

You can take a TeachersPayTeachers resource, and assign one or more of the pages to your students—over the internet?

It’s easy. 

TpT has a new Digital Tool that allows you to upload many of your TpT-bought PDF pages to your Google Classroom account.

IMPORTANT REMINDER:

If you use any resource for distance learning such as Google Classroom, you must use a secure site.  Please be sure it is password protected.

You can even add instructions for your kids, and text boxes for them to write in.

You can see their completed assignments if you choose.

Here’s how…
