When I get my hands in Subtext, the "teacher" part of me takes a back-seat and become a professional "curator." I love to go in and find articles I think my students would not only enjoy, but find inspiration in, become more curious about, and most of all practice those critical reading skills.
This curation comes with a price: a library carousel with too many articles and minutes go by to find the one you're searching for. So, I've solved this problem by creating "Teacher Groups" or "TG" for short.
This curation comes with a price: a library carousel with too many articles and minutes go by to find the one you're searching for. So, I've solved this problem by creating "Teacher Groups" or "TG" for short.
I created a variety of TG groups labeled with a particular subject or area. By starting each with the same initials, they would stay alphabetized together.
When I'm searching for a specific article about science, I will usually get distracted by another articles. I would usually add it to the library, return to the main screen, and have to start the process all over.
To solve my multi-tasking dilemma, I add the article directly to that Teacher Group (TG) shelf. This allows me to keep curating until my heart's content.
The neat thing is once something is shared to a group shelf, it stays there until you "unshare" it. There's no delete button, so you can rest assured, it isn't going anywhere unless you choose.
This means, when the article/book is in my library carousel, I can delete it to free up space and reduce clutter. When I need the article again, I just return to its group book shelf where it was shared.
Happy organizing!
