What are the rules for selling content on Teacher Content?

Teachers Content is a marketplace for teachers to buy, sell or share educational content: interactive learning materials and classic printables. To post materials on Teacher Content, please follow the recommendations for preparing materials and the site's rules:

  • Be decent and honest. Sell only resources, the rights to which are entirely yours. Check that your materials are high-quality, without errors, and have no gaps or low-quality graphics. The cover and the name of the resources should correspond to the internal content as much as possible. Please don't mislead users, and always describe in detail what is included in your materials, for example, a list of topics, a summary of the resource, the number of pages, and so on.

  • Teacher Content allows you to sell interactive content, so if any or all of a resource is dependent on third-party services or other platforms, you are responsible for maintaining the functionality and availability of that content. However, you may not require users to purchase additional products or service subscriptions to access resources sold on the platform.

  • Please respect the law and third parties rights and be careful when using wording and formatting materials. Material that does not comply with the law violates anyone's rights (including copyright, trademark or other intellectual property, person, right of publicity, or right of privacy) or violates copyright will be removed.

  • Teachers' Content should not be used to drive traffic to another website or business. Published resources should be of value to teachers and educators.

 

Where can I find free public domain images and pictures?

We can’t all be professional artists and designers as well as amazing teachers and authors. So, we understand that some teachers are choosing to incorporate third-party content in their courses. There are many image and clipart libraries on the web, but not all of them have quality images or are reliable sources. It can be tough to know which sites to trust, and how to navigate their licensing rules, so it’s good to be cautious and read carefully. Here are some sites you might want to check out:

  • Wikimedia Commons - Wikimedia Commons is a media repository that is part of the Wikipedia umbrella project, where users are free to use any of the site's photos, audio, videos, and other media freely and without any restrictions.

  • Unsplash - A spectacular, huge site, with over 550,000 high-resolution photos that can be used by anyone.

  • Pixabay - Stock photos and illustrations for every need. This beautiful service provides a simple, easy-to-use site with nearly 65,000 photos and illustrations that are available to you for any purpose, without attribution.

  • Clker - Free clip art library you can use for anything you like

 

You can use subscription based or pay-per-image services - such as Classroom Clipart, CanStockPhoto, iStock, Adobe Stock, Canva, Procreate, Shutterstock

 

These are also the services that are often used by our vendors to add images:

You can choose any platform that is convenient to you and get all the needed images to use in your materials.
