Deck.Toys Knowledge Base

Public Deck

A Public Deck is a complete lesson shared with other teachers through the Deck Gallery. Give it a clear title, description, subject, and grade level so teachers can find it. Your current deck limits are shown on the pricing page and in your account.

The Gallery is for teacher sharing. To give a lesson to students, assign it to a classroom. Gallery submissions are reviewed before publication.

When approved, the deck is discoverable by Deck.Toys teachers. To submit it, open the deck's sharing options and choose the public Gallery option. See how to share a deck.

Common unacceptable submissions to the Deck Gallery:

  1. An exact copy from a deck already in the Deck Gallery
  2. A copy from a deck already in the Deck Gallery and almost no changes to the content
  3. A 'testing' deck. All testing or incomplete decks must be part of your Private Deck allocation.
  4. Title that does not describe the deck creatively
  5. Improper or incomplete descriptions (e.g. blablablabla, or 12345678)
  6. Not correctly labeled (e.g. Language Arts decks labeled as Maths, or a High School level deck labeled as Pre-K2)
  7. Decks that can only benefit your own students (e.g. Spelling list for Class 2A)
  8. Lesson content that is incongruent and does not meet the minimum acceptable quality expected.
  9. Study Set Languages are not configured correctly.
  10. The background of the deck is bare.
  11. The deck containing material that may violate terms of service.
  12. No interactive Slide Apps is added to the deck.
  13. The first activity contains an activity entry lock. This is not accepted because students should be introduced to the lesson first before giving them a lock.

The Deck.Toys Admin reserves the right to unshare all decks that do not meet the definition of a Public Deck. This would mean the deck will be sent back to Private Deck allocation without notification to the person who shared the deck to the Deck Gallery.

Private decks do not need Gallery review. You can assign one directly to your classroom or share it with teachers by link or with your team.

You can assign a deck from the Deck Gallery direct to your Deck.Toys Classroom, but we recommend you to copy this public deck into your private deck and check that all activities are configured correctly before assigning the deck to your students.

If there are repeated violations of Deck Gallery submissions, Admin reserves the right to suspend your account.
