Question 1

Why should I subscribe? What makes Bluebird Teaching different from other materials platforms?

Accepted Answer

Bluebird Teaching is much more than a simple materials sharing site. While we provide teachers access to shared resources within the community, we also provide a better way to store and organize your own teaching materials that will save you time, frustration, and energy many times over when you are no longer looking for “that Structures of the Cell” graphic organizer or "that Imagery and Sensory Language Project.”
 
Bluebird Teaching members can choose to share selected materials from their private storage with the Bluebird Teaching community. All members have access to our shared "Discover" space. In "Discover," users can browse original instructional materials shared by other members of the community for instructional use in their classrooms. Users who select materials shared by others can save them to their files to retag for their purposes and revise to tailor the material for their particular students. These shared materials are included as part of the Bluebird Teaching subscription: users do not pay extra and there is no money exchanged among members on the Bluebird Teaching platform.
 
We also provide an inclusive social community, where you can come together with other teachers to share ideas, concerns, and even collaborate on lesson planning and other ideas for the classroom. Bluebird Teaching is on a mission to create opportunities for authentic self-care by making the day-to-day work of teaching better. We truly believe that Together We Thrive. It is our goal to be an useful, practical, and enjoyable part of teachers' daily routines. We have plans to expand beyond our current services as we grow, so join us — and take your time back!

Question 2

When I create an account on Bluebird Teaching, what do I have access to?"

Accepted Answer

Subscribing and creating an account on Bluebird Teaching gives you all-access to everything we offer on our site :
"My Files" - cloud-based storage so you don't have to navigate a maze of folders any more. Tag once and find forever in seconds.
 
“Discover” - a space where community members share lessons and materials that can be downloaded by other members and saved to their files (to modify or use "as is") included as part of the subscription - no extra charges.
 
“Connect” - a supportive social community that allows members to get to know each other, share best practices, get answers or advice, join groups, collaborate on lesson plans or other ideas, and just enjoy a moment to relax and chat with encouraging colleagues.

Question 3

How long will my subscription last? Can I cancel at any time?

Accepted Answer

Your Bluebird Teaching subscription fee is charged monthly to your credit card on file. Your subscription allows us the capability to offer members access to all of the advantages of the platform. There is absolutely no commitment! You can cancel your subscription anytime.

Question 4

Can I pause my subscription?

Accepted Answer

The long-term value of the Bluebird Teaching platform to teachers is in its consistent use. Our monthly subscription rate is as low as possible. We cannot pause subscriptions, but you can cancel your subscription and then use the same email to reestablish it at the then-current subscription rate when you are ready to return. You will need to re-upload and re-tag your files. However, all files you shared with the community while a subscriber will remain active — they cannot be deleted once they are in the Discover space.

Question 5

What happens to my shared materials if I cancel my account?

Accepted Answer

If you decide to leave the Bluebird Teaching platform by cancelling your subscription, any file that you’ve stored privately under “My Files” is deleted from the system; however, due to the nature of sharing, anything that you’ve shared with the community will remain available to members. Any shared material that has been downloaded by others will remain within their storage and the Bluebird Teaching Platform.
