What’s expected when you use these resources

Resources must be used as part of a finished product or piece of content, not on their own.

  • For templates, this means customizing text, layout, structure, or branding
  • For clipart, stock photos, and graphics, this means using them within a larger design or piece of content, such as a worksheet, slide deck, printable, website page, blog post, social media graphic, or branded material

The resources are meant to support your work, not replace it. They are starting points, not standalone products.
