TPT Seller.... Finally!


As I mentioned in my Summer Projects post, I had a goal to get some of my teaching resources up on Teachers Pay Teachers. I am pretty tech savvy (or so I thought) so I figured it would be a simple process. Update and jazz up the resources I have already, and post them. Then I can start making more. Easy peasy, right?

WRONG!

It was definitely not as easy as I thought it would be! Roadblock after roadblock, I have spent many long summer hours working on this goal! First, my resources were made with only the intention to use them in my own classroom. So I had to go through them and change anything that might be a copyright infringement, replacing images, fonts, backgrounds, etc with ones I have purchased the rights to. Crediting and linking everyone. Creating cover pages and end pages. I was lucky to stumble across some extremely helpful websites, such Teaching in the Tongass and Erica's EDventures. Learning how to flatten and secure my documents took the longest (especially since I didn't even know what that meant!) and I had many trials and errors along the way. 

But this morning, I DID IT! I posted my first product (first one is always a freebie) for the teachers of the world to use! Or not. I really don't know if it is even that good. I have two more products to post, and then I have work to do if I want to make more! I have some old (and super old) stuff I could revamp and post, but that might be more work than starting from scratch! All in all, I had fun learning all the new tech, and am excited to delve into the world of being a Teacher-Seller! 

My very first TPT product!!!
