How do I post a new resource?

Contributing to PeerSource is easy!

1. On a companion site, use the links in the right sidebar to find an appropriate category for your resource (for more help, see Where should I post my resource?).

2. Click on a Post new resource button in that category.

3. On the submission page, type in a Name (e.g., "Vocabulary Game, Level 1 Part 1, Lesson 5"), Description and Tags for your resource.

4. If your resource is in a file saved on your computer, select it using the Browse button, and click Attach.

5. At the bottom of the page, click Preview to check that everything looks fine.

6. When you're ready to submit, click Save — and you're done!

Where should I post my resource?

To make it easier for other users to find your contribution, you should select the most specific category for your resource. For example, if you have a crossword puzzle that uses vocabulary only found in Volume 1, Lesson 1, you should post it on the Volume 1, Lesson 1 page, instead of the Volume 1 page.

However, if you have a more general resource, such as a lesson plan for all the lessons in Volume 1, you should post it on the Volume 1 page.

Notes:

  • By default, your new resource will be posted to the current page you were viewing when you clicked on the Post new resource button.
  • If you can't find a suitable category, please post a description of the problem in the support forum so that a staff member can assist you.
