These routes prioritize official, free, recently checked resources while keeping provider claims and hub notes clearly separated.

Help grow the exchange

Know a resource we should check?

Send the official link and tell us why it is useful. Suggestions go into a private review queue; they are checked, labeled, and screened for duplicates before anything appears in the catalog.

1Collected safely. Your suggestion is stored for review, not published immediately.

2Verified at the source. We confirm the provider, access, grades, subjects, standards, and current availability.

3Added once. Existing records are updated when the same resource is already represented.

Email is optional and is stored only with the suggestion for possible follow-up. Suggestions are never published automatically.

Clear before you click

Useful labels.
Honest limits.

Every entry points to an official provider page and tells you what we know about time, access, materials, standards, and availability. Large repositories stay visible as doorways while their verified lessons and activities are added as individual, searchable records.

Canonical source

Links go to the agency or organization that actually provides the resource—not a copied listing or aggregator.

Item-level and duplicate-aware

Official item metadata is indexed provider by provider. Canonical URLs keep the same lesson from being added twice.

Standards, with context

We name a framework only when the provider documents it and note when alignment varies by item.

Planning details

Classroom time, prep, access, materials, format, and implementation style appear before you leave the hub.

Last checked

Every record shows its review date so a teacher can judge how recently the details were confirmed.
