FAQ

Real questions I get, answered the way I'd answer them over email.

Is this really free? What's the catch?

Yes. No trial, no card, no "free for the first three." Every lesson on this site is free to download and free to use. The honest breakdown of how a free site pays its bills is on the How This Site Makes Money page, if you want the full picture.

Why do you ask for my email?

Only on your first download, and only if you want it. It's a one-time signup handled by Kit so I can send you a note when new lessons go up. I don't collect your name, and I never sell your email. Skip it and the download still works.

What do I actually get when I download a lesson?

The files themselves: guided notes, an activity, a quiz, an exit ticket, slides, and the answer key for all of it, depending on the toolkit. These come straight to your device as local files, not a link to somewhere else.

Can I edit the files?

Yes. Cut a slide, rewrite a question, change the names in a scenario so they match your class. They're yours to adjust once you've got them.

Can I share these with my department or another teacher?

Share the page, not the file. That's the one thing I ask, and it's covered in full on the How You Can Use These page. Sending a colleague the link works better for both of you anyway. They get the newest version and I can keep track of what's actually being used.

I found a mistake or a broken file. What do I do?

Tell me. I'd rather fix it than have you stuck with a wrong answer key. Head to the Contact page and send me what you found.

Who are you?

One high school teacher with over a decade in the classroom, building this around a full-time teaching schedule. More on the About page.

Is there a paid version?

Not yet. A supporter tier is coming, a few dollars a month through Payhip: the self-grading Google Forms versions of the quizzes and exit tickets, one-click Drive copies of everything, and ad-free files. Until it's live, every lesson is free either way, ads or not, and the free catalog stays free after it launches too.

Couldn't my students just find the answer keys on here?

A determined student could, the same way they can find answers for most things teachers assign from any site or marketplace. The answer-key pages are kept out of search engines, which stops the casual googler, but nothing stops a student who knows the site. My honest advice is the same as with any published resource: change a number, swap a question, or use the quiz as an open-note review if that risk matters for your class.

Do you take requests for lessons?

I do. If there's a topic or unit you wish existed, send it my way through the Contact page. No promises on timing since it's just me, but I do read every request.

How do the ads work?

They're not live yet. When they are, they'll run through Google AdSense and use Google's own consent tooling, so you'll see the usual choices about what's allowed. Separately, this site uses privacy-respecting Cloudflare analytics to see which lessons get used, without cross-site tracking cookies of my own.
