How to Create Lessons

SKIES makes planning and doing lessons easier by allowing you to create collaborative lesson cards in a few easy steps! Here's how:

1. Create a course folder first. You can find the steps here. You can add your lessons inside this course. If you have an existing course(s), go into the course where you want to add the lesson.
2. Click +Make New Lesson, give it a simple title then click Save.
3. To add your lesson card, click the +Make new card.
4. You may then create the type of lesson card by selecting from any of these available options; or simply drag in your materials from your device:
