Your candle stays on your phone.

Open it anytime to explore the resources, or show your Candle in class so students can scan their own. Your share link stays close at hand.

Your students keep their own.

Each student's candle stays on their phone too. Once you set up your page, it comes first inside their candle, so they can always reach you.

Selected for student usefulness

Just resources we believe are useful.

Every resource in Lightway, Gateway and Doorway is selected solely for student usefulness, and placement or ranking in those three doors cannot be purchased. Reserved strategic and sponsored relationships appear only in the Keeper door and are labeled there.

Why teachers share it

Give them somewhere to go when class is over.

On their own, students often don't know where to start. The candle gives them one trusted place to come back to, filled with resources selected by Student Launch Path, and every resource opens the provider's own site. No login, no searching.

One starting pointReplaces the list of links students lose.
Help when they need itStudents come back when questions come up, not just in class.
Already selectedEvery resource is chosen for student usefulness. Students just pick where to start.
Nothing to manageShare it once. No accounts, no class setup, no student data.

Inside the student's Keeper door

Students choose what they need next.

Once a student opens Keeper, four clear choices keep the experience simple. Keep saves the candle and its story. Share passes it forward. Explore opens the useful destinations. Origin explains where the candle came from.

Teachers do not need to guide every click. Students can return and choose what they need next.
