For a step-by-step guide for creating a lesson, watch our 'how to' video or view the written steps below.
How do I create a lesson?
- Click on the 'Dashboard' button in the top right-hand side of the page (or the 'Dashboard' button next to your class if you teach multiple classes)
- Click on the subheading ‘Lessons’ (it’s between 'Programs' and 'Students')
- Click the ‘Create lesson’ button and start lesson planning!
Your lesson must have a Title and Description, but other than that, it is completely customisable to what suits you - choose the skills and activities that you want!
How do I make my created lessons appear on the dashboard?
The only way for your created lessons to appear on the 'Dashboard' is to place them in a program. See 'Developing a program' for instructions to create your program.
How do I print out my lesson?
- Click on the 'Dashboard' button in the top right-hand side of the page (or the 'Dashboard' button next to your class if you teach multiple classes)
- Click on the subheading ‘Lessons’ (it’s between 'Programs' and 'Students')
- All the lessons you have created should be visible. You can print them out by clicking on the blue printer icon next to each lesson. This will download your lesson plan as a PDF, ready for you to print. You can print out all the KIDDO lesson plans too!
Can I edit a lesson?
You can’t edit the KIDDO lessons that we have prepared for you, however, you can edit any of the custom lessons you have created yourself.
- Click on the 'Dashboard' button in the top right-hand side of the page (or the 'Dashboard' button next to your class if you teach multiple classes)
- Click on the subheading ‘Lessons’ (it’s between 'Programs' and 'Students')
- All the lessons you have created should be visible. You can edit them by clicking on the three dots on the right-hand side of each lesson, and selecting 'Edit'
Can I share the lessons I created with another teacher?
Unfortunately, the website doesn’t currently have the functionality for you to share your created resources with others, however, this is a feature we are hoping to add shortly!
You can save your created lessons as a PDF and email them to your colleagues.
- Click on the 'Dashboard' button in the top right-hand side of the page (or the 'Dashboard' button next to your class if you teach multiple classes)
- Click on the subheading ‘Lessons’ (it’s between 'Programs' and 'Students')
- All the lessons you have created should be visible. You can save them by clicking on the blue printer icon next to each lesson. This will download your lesson plan as a PDF, ready for you to share.
Can I edit the lessons created by KIDDO?
You can’t edit the KIDDO lessons that we have prepared for you, however, if there is a KIDDO lesson you like, but need to make changes to, use the ‘Create lesson’ button to make a customised version of a KIDDO lesson!
