Add a collaborator. So I'm Jen, and I taught at the high school level for about seven years before, before this. So I taught US history and also special education. So I taught both of those for a few years. And I didn't have CC, but I really wish I would have had it. It would have been a huge help, especially in this regard, adding a collaborator.

I was at a school where there was multiple other teachers teaching the same thing that I was. I think at one year, we had, like, six or seven teachers teaching ninth grade US history.

So being able to add a collaborator and actually make plans together would have been super helpful. So I promise this would be ten minutes, and it is it's gonna be super short. It's really quick and really easy to add a collaborator.

So as you can see, I'm on my home screen right here, and then I'm just gonna click into one of my plan books.

And how you add a collaborator is you click on the share button in your navigation bar. I'm gonna click on the share button, and then under share plan book, it says with school or colleagues, and that's what you wanna click on.

Alright. So this is your sharing and collaboration page. Now down here, you see add collaborators.

I am actually part of a school. This is just like our demo school for CC, but you can add individuals. So what you wanna click is this button here, and this is where you can enter someone's email. So I'm just gonna enter one of my colleagues' emails.

So you just enter their email, and then over on the right, you can select their share permissions.

So if you want so, like, if I want Lori to be able to edit my plans, like, if I if this person is teaching the same thing as me or maybe it's just a grade level team, and I want her to be able to split up the work with me. Maybe I want her to plan, you know, the objectives for the week, and then I'm gonna plan the agenda. And then she's gonna fill in the homework card, and then we can share plans that way. So if I want her to have full editing access, I'm gonna hit can edit.

But if I wanna share my plans with someone and I don't necessarily want them to collaborate in the way of editing. I just want them to be able to make comments. So maybe it's an admin or maybe you're just, maybe like an instructional coach or something and you only want them to be able to comment, then you can just give them those permissions. And then also if you just want them to be able to view your plans, you can give them those, permissions.

So I'm gonna click can edit because I want her to be a true collaborator.

So can edit, and then I can share, And then you get this little notification that an email was sent to her. So now she'll get an email, and let me show you actually what that email looks like. So this is the email. This is what the email will look like. So just say that I want her to collaborate in my plan book, and then she'll be able to accept the invite.

And if this person doesn't already have a CC account, they'll just have to set up their account first. And then the plan book that you shared with them will be on their home page, and they'll be able to access it. If they already have a CC account, they'll just click the accept, and it'll show up on their home page. Also, it will show the invite on their home page, and they can accept it that way. They don't have to do it through email.

Okay. Let me go back to my plan book.

Okay. So if you want to add more, you can. With the free version, you can add three collaborators. With pro, you can add five, and then you can have multiple people working in your plan book.

And so that's really it. There's really not much to it more than that. Again, how to get to that, I'm gonna go back to just my week view here, is you go to your share button, and then you click with school or colleagues, and then that is how you get to your sharing and collaboration screen.

Now if you ever get to a point where you don't want someone to collaborate on your plan book anymore, maybe they're not teaching the same thing as you anymore or maybe you've shared with an admin and maybe you have a different admin now or whatever the case is, you can always take that collaborator off just by hitting the trash can, and it will remove them. You can also, at any point, update their share permissions. So if someone can only view and they ask, hey. I wanna be able to comment in your plan book. You can change that to comment. Or if you decide if you gave them editing rights at first and you decide, oh, I don't want someone else to be able to edit my plans, then you can change it to can view or can comment only. So you can always edit that if you need to.

Okay. So I have a couple minutes here, and then my ten minutes will be up. I don't wanna waste your time. So if you have questions, drop that in the chat.

I'm gonna post a poll here really quickly. So if you'd like to answer those, that just give me some feedback. That'll really help me out. So I've just launched that poll, and then I'll just talk a little bit more.

If so just the kind of the the value of collaborating is, like, when I type in this objective card, so someone else can plan as the same time as me, and then it will also show up there. So we can plan together even if we're not in the same room.
