Using templates can streamline the sharing of virtual worksheets, assignments, or graphic organizers with students!
Check out these steps for converting your Lucid documents to templates:
- Select your Lucid document.
- Choose File > Convert to template.
- Select the category of your template.
- Optionally, add a description of your template.
Once you've converted your document to a template, any edits you make will be applied to the original template.
Now that you've created your template, you're ready to share it with your students! Using folders is a great way to keep assignments organized and share your templates quickly. You can create a folder based on the class period, unit, or assignment.
Check out these steps for creating and sharing folders with your students:
- From your Documents page, select +New > Folder.
- Title your folder (e.g. U.S. History - Period 2).
- Move or add your template to the folder you created.
- Select the three vertical dots on your folder and choose “Share”.
- Share the folder directly with your students by adding their email addresses, or create a link to the folder and share the link.
Once students access the folder and template, direct them to select "New" on the template to create a new document. The system will create the document within the folder, facilitating easy location and automatic sharing with everyone in the folder!
Note: To help with organization, instruct students to update their document title to include their name.
