How do I add content to My Library using The Community Tool?

The my library tool is a place where teachers can:

• copy and store items they would like to use across courses
• copy and store activity templates that they can simply drag and drop into their course anytime
• copy and store items from the community to use in their own course(s)
• copy and store items they found in a co-teacher's course that they would like to use in their own course
• and more...

Anything saved to a teacher's my library is a static copy of the original and can simply be dragged and dropped into any of their courses to be used as their own or to share across courses.

A teacher's my library can be seen and accessed in two different places

1. The my library tab within the community tool
2. The my library tab within a course's editor tool

To add content from the NTN community to your my library, click on the choose app tool located in the top tool bar and select community.
