School resources
Maestro now enables you to upload your own documents and lesson resources so that they can be quickly downloaded from the lessons they are attached to.
Uploading resources into the School Resources
When you want to upload resources into Maestro, you will first need to upload the resource into the School resources section on the sidebar menu.
This area will be where all resources that your school uploads will be housed. Resources can be grouped into specific folders as required. To create a folder, click on either the 'Creating a folder' link or the folder icon near the top left corner and clicking 'Create a folder'.
To create a new folder, give the folder a name and add a description (if required). You can even give the folder a thumbnail by searching for an image that is already saved to your computer.
All of your folders will then be visible in this section. To edit your folders in any way, click on the edit button for that folder.
To upload a file, you can simply drag and drop your files into the folder you have just created. Alternatively, you can click on the folder you want to upload resources into. Click the 'Upload a file here' link.
On the file selection modal, select the file you wish to upload, a title will be automatically created from the filename but this can be edited as required. Add a description and a thumbnail if you wish to (PDFs will use itself as an image if a thumbnail isn't chosen). Then click 'Save'.
Linking resources to specific lessons
To link one of your resources to one of the lessons in Maestro (this could be a Cornerstones activity or one you have created yourself, just go into the project and find the the relevant lesson. Go to the 'Add/Edit notes' section and click on the attachments button and click 'Choose file'.
You can use the filters at the top to select the type of resource or search by the document's name. Use the side arrows to view any documents within a folder. Select the document you wish to add to the lesson and then click 'OK'.
The resource name will then be a link to the resource in the School library.
