Classroom content you count on
Texas teachers count on digital resources to engage today's wired and connected students. You use these resources everywhere: as supplemental material, as support for lesson plans, for student projects, and as core instruction.
There are almost endless resources out there for you to use. Not all of these resources are great. Many aren't aligned to Texas standards. What's more, every day new digital education resources become available. As these resources multiply, teachers need better, more efficient, tools to find, assign, manage and use them.
Save time, find what you need
To cut through the clutter and save teachers time, TCEA, in partnership with Learning.com, gives you TIME. It's an easy-to-navigate, open repository of free and fee-based educational resources that align to Texas academic standards.
You can efficiently find and use appropriate content when you search by subject, standard or provider.
TIME gives you the option of rating the materials you find. You can also see reviews from other educators using TIME. Ratings and reviews help you buy or choose with confidence.
Free or for a fee?
TIME accounts are free for all Texas educators. TIME features free and fee-based content from premier providers as well as content created by teachers for teachers. Free content can be accessed immediately. Fee-based content can be licensed with a purchase order or credit card directly from TIME. You can also use your existing licenses through TIME with no extra charge.
Make the most of your resources
TIME includes everything you need to create dazzling, digital classrooms.
The Sky digital learning environment — already a familiar tool for thousands of Texas educators — is built into TIME. Sky makes it easier for you to get the best out of all the content you find in TIME.
In Sky you can:- Organize, assign and use standards-aligned digital content from a variety of providers and sources
- Create customized sequences of content from a variety of providers to meet individual student needs

You can link to TIME content from your existing learning management systems. Or, you can use TIME's single sign-on feature to access, assign, and track all your content from one place with just one user name and password. And, getting started requires minimal training.
TIME is available, at no cost, to all Texas educators.
TCEA and Learning.com give Texas one place to go for digital educational content
A first for Texas educators, TIME provides a single point of entry for teachers to find and use safe, effective and appropriate digital content aligned to the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS). TIME gives Texas educators one place to go for all their digital content.
Make the most of district resources
When your teachers can access the digital content you've licensed more easily, they're more likely to use it with their students. TIME is designed to help. Making access easier can increase content usage and provide districts with a better return on their investments.
Track use and monitor progress
Using TIME as a district also makes it easier to track and monitor progress across your schools and classrooms. You can see how content is being used, who is using it and track performance. This helps you know — and demonstrate — that digital resources and dollars are being used wisely and effectively.
Benefits for districts include:
- A better way to find, organize, assign and use TEKS-aligned educational resources
- An easy way to manage district-licensed digital content from multiple publishers
- A single username and password that makes it easier for teachers and students to use all their digital content
- The ability to track use of digital content across schools and throughout your district which helps administrators to see what is popular and what is effective
- Improved workflows for teachers and students which lead to increased usage and better student outcomes
- Easier access to high-quality, standards-aligned content which improves the effectiveness of digital instruction in a district
- Improvements to access and ease of use increase the Return on Investment (ROI) for your existing content licenses and for new curriculum purchases
