Canvas has a way for teachers to share content with each other that they've created, or you can actually share it publicly with the world. To get there, go ahead and click on comments. When you're looking at these courses, you can actually see there are little icons right here. So, this little red icon right here correlates up top, so there are quizzes in this one; this one has assignments, and this one is a full-on course.

Now, if I go ahead and type in my name, I've created some content just for our school. I have a 12-week social studies unit that I've created, my tinkering unit, and I also have an SMS PE template, so other teachers in our district can grab onto this, pull it into their course, and then use it. Now, say I'm going to go ahead and teach "The Crucible." I’m going to go back to the beginning here; I'm going to go ahead and type in "CRUCIBLE." I hit enter, and I can go ahead and look at some different things. Well, I want kind of a full-on course on "The Crucible," so I'm going to be looking for that green icon or the blue icon.

Here’s Module 1: Colonialism and "The Crucible." That sounds interesting! I'll go ahead and click on it, and it looks like one person has left a review, so that's always a good thing if someone has reviewed it already. Now, these are all the assignments that that teacher has created.

Now, the one bad thing about comments is that you can't actually click on that and look at it. What you have to do is actually import it into your own course. So, what I'm going to do is import it into a sandbox. It's real easy to create courses. I'll go ahead and click on "Sandbox" and import it into the course. It says, "You have successfully started the import," and it mentions that it may take a few minutes to see the changes.

Now, I'm going to go ahead and go to my dashboard, and then I'm going to go to my sandbox. Alright, I went into modules, and now I see Module 1: Colonialism and "The Crucible." Now, I can actually go ahead and click on each of these so I can see what this module is about. It talks about the overview; they actually attach the standards, which is excellent.

I can go back and look at Arthur Miller and "The Crucible." We'll see what this assignment is about. Looks like there's a little video about it, a little presentation: "What is a Crucible?" Then I'll go ahead and look at one other piece. Let’s say, let's look at Act Three: The Study Guide. Again, here's the assignment that they want the kids to do.

Now, if I like this, what I can do is go back into the comments, type that thing in, and then actually import it into my live course that I want to use it in.
