How to Create Folders

Ellii's Folders tool is a fantastic option for organizing the lessons you would like to save for future use. With all the materials on Ellii, saving lessons to your own custom folders will help you plan and save time. Follow the steps below to locate and use the Folders tool.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1

Click on Materials then select Lessons from the drop-down menu.

When you land on our main Lesson Categories page, you can start browsing the categories to find one that is suitable for your class. Click on any of the lesson categories (e.g., True Grammar Stories).

Step 2

Once you're inside a lesson category, you will notice that each lesson has a small black folder icon beneath it. Clicking the icon allows you to save that lesson to a particular folder.

Step 3

Clicking the folder icon will bring up a box with a list of your existing folders. Check the boxes to add content or uncheck to remove content from your folder(s). Choose New Folder to create a new folder. If you do not have any existing folders, the only option will be to create a new folder by entering a folder name. Click the Save button to complete the action.

Step 4

You can also save the lessons you assigned to a class, a video, blog post, or resource to your folder(s).

Step 5

To access your folders, click Saved in the navigation bar on the top of any page and then select Folders from the drop-down menu.

Step 6

Once on the Folders page, you can click the folder title to view the content inside each folder. To create another folder, click on the New Folder button. You can also share the folder with teachers (within the same group account), pin the folder to a class, delete folders or edit the name and description of your folders from this page by clicking on the More Options (...) menu.

Step 7

After clicking into a folder (by clicking on the folder title from the Folders page), you can add any lesson/blog post/resource to another folder by clicking on the More Options (...) menu and selecting Save to... . You can also select Add to class in order to assign the folder item as homework.
