2. Guidelines on sharing resources
The MML Classroom Solution website is a community and its success really does depend
on the sharing of resources.
• We all love getting free resources but sharing your own resources with the
community encourages a constant supply of fresh material .
• When you use another members resource please provide constructive feedback
o How your learners coped with the resource e.g.
o How you used the resource in your lesson
o Did you add or edit any content of the resource to make it more suitable for
your needs
o What worked for you and what didn’t.
• Resources are not limited to downloads but can also be links to great (relevant)
content and articles.
• Please remember to credit the author/website of the resource.
