Free classroom learning resources. Learning resources you can use tomorrow — a home for the free, self-contained teaching tools built by Miguel Guhlin for TCEA: critical-thinking breakouts, literature rooms, STEAM games, history journeys, and AI-literacy resources. Every one runs entirely in the browser: no logins, no accounts, no student data collected. Up to seven languages, no data collected, PreK–12 and professional, free to use and adapt.

These materials were created by Miguel Guhlin, Director of Professional Development at TCEA (the Texas Computer Education Association), as part of his work there.

Yes, without asking: use these with your students, print and share them with colleagues, host your own copy on a school or district server, and adapt, translate, or remix them for your classroom — as long as you credit the original.

Not without written permission: selling them or any adaptation, or bundling them into paid training, a paid course, or a commercial product or subscription. Commercial use needs separate written permission from TCEA — ask; it simply isn't granted by the public license.

Each resource carries its own full Licensing & Provenance page with the details, exclusions, and works-by-other-people notes specific to it.

Provenance & how it's made

These resources grew out of TCEA's professional-learning work. Shared instructional scaffolding — UDL guidance, ELPS supports, and lesson-plan structure — is adapted from TCEA breakout and professional-development materials, and several suites are distilled from TCEA workshop curricula.

Works by other people are excluded from the license above and remain the property of their copyright holders. Literature activities favor public-domain texts; a few are original educational companions to works still in copyright — they reproduce no text, excerpts, or illustrations from those works and are not affiliated with or endorsed by any author, estate, or publisher. Historical journeys quote only short public-domain primary-source passages and link each source directly; scene artwork is original illustration, not reproduced historical work.

Content, code, artwork, and the multilingual translations are produced with the help of generative-AI tools and refined under Miguel Guhlin's direction and editorial review — a human stays in the loop on every decision. Translations are machine-assisted and flagged for local educator review before classroom use.

Privacy

Every activity runs entirely in the student's browser. There are no logins and no accounts, nothing is uploaded, and no student data is collected or transmitted. Progress, where an activity saves any, stays on the device.
