Teacher Notes are helpful educator supports specific to Studio. With Teacher Notes, quickly access additional resources that pair with or support your lesson.
Overview
All Studio projects contain a Teacher Notes option. Here, access/add notes about a lesson or access/add resources to reference later. Note that these notes are only available to teachers and are never visible to students.
From any Studio Slide or Page, navigate to Teacher Notes from the paper icon in the left sidebar menu.
How do I create my own Teacher Notes?
Use Teacher Notes as a personal guide when you create a Studio project. Include notes for yourself, or in collaboration with other educators on shared Studio projects.
In addition to text in Teacher Notes, you can also search and add DE content, add from Favorites, upload from your device, insert links, add buttons, and more.
Just like collaborators have access to the Teacher Notes you create on shared Studio projects, you also have access to Teacher Notes that others create on Studio projects shared with you.
