Wowza, you are so right that creating products for TPT is different than creating things for your classroom! I appreciate the time you took to film this tutorial/series because I've wanted to become a seller for years but have never started because it was intimidating when reading through the policies and procedures. You explained this in a way that makes this task seem much more doable and that's amazing! Thanks again.

Hi Michelle! Thanks for this series. It's been super helpful! You've helped me so much with your videos through the past couple of years that I wanted to offer some tricks I use when lining up text boxes @ 11:02. I will either press the shift key along with the arrow key and move the text box. This moves the box ever so slightly. I can also choose both boxes, right click, choose Align vertically, and middle. This will line the boxes up perfectly! I hope you're enjoying this Texas heat!!

Anyway! This series was really helpful and if you are thinking of adding to it (PLEASE!) I'm definitely struggling with mockups and previews, and the storefront side of things, as well as technical/security measure aspects such as watermarks.

This seems to work for exporting out image files (such as JPEG). What about multiple slides, as in lesson slides? I export out to PowerPoint but that often causes issues, such as overlapping text that wasn't overlapping in Google Slides. In that case I have thus far found it easier to just to use PowerPoint, knowing that what you see is what you get. Exporting to PDF (from Google Slides) seems good though, and when using File>Download>PDF, rather than Print to PDF, links maintain functionality!

Because your school district would likely not be happy if they found out you were using a computer they supplied you to make your own money. Most districts have a technology agreement saying you'll only use your district issued computer for school purposes. It's the same reason many districts have said teacher vloggers cannot vlog during their planning time or on school property. They don't want you working on your own business endeavors on their dime.

I think that if you were doing something as easy as birthday tags, your presentation would have been more streamlined. For example, changing the size of yr fonts so many times and not being able to line things up. Also, I question you not leaving a small space between yr cards and on the outer border. You need to slow down a bit. Looked rushed.
@PocketfulofPrimary3 ай бұрын
I’m showing the creative process behind a product because some people are curious about. Creating a product isn’t always streamlined… this is a realistic look at how it comes together. Also, you’re more than welcome to leave space between the tags if you create them. After years of cutting out tags and cards for my classroom, I have found it easiest and the biggest time saver if they don’t have space between. You can slow down the speed of a KZbin video or pause along the way if I’m going too fast for your learning style. Everyone is different!
