What you’ll learn: how users can find lesson materials
Time required: 5 minutes

The title determines how easily your lesson material can be found. A clear title includes:

The topic
Words relevant to education
The target audience

Search engines also scan the lesson description. As a channel administrator, you can add a description and lesson instructions. Read here how it works.

Add search terms (tags), separated by commas..

The following metadata fields cover the most practical and content-related search terms users might look for:

Concepts (from a textbook), such as Democracy, The Rule of Law
Methods, such as Oxford AQA History, White Rose Maths
Subjects, such as Geography and Citizenship
(Recurring) Events, such as Easter, Christmas
Current affairs, like General Election, Royal Family Announcements
People, such as Winston Churchill, Malala Yousafzai
Organisations, such as the NHS and WIC

💡 Tip: Make your tags searchable with spelling variants. Think of gift and present, or cat and cats.

💡 Tip: Use ChatGPT to discover additional relevant search terms. For example, ask:

“Which search terms do teachers use when looking for lesson material about democracy?”

or “Which SEO terms are popular around the subject of citizenship education?”

You now know how users can (more easily) find your lesson materials. In the next lesson plan, you’ll learn how to publish lessons on a website.
