This article is a good place to start if you are a teacher who is new to Gallopade Online. Please refer to additional articles for a more in-depth look at specific topics.
After completing the Getting Started steps, upon login, you will see your class(es). To go to the curriculum, select the blue word Course (or the name of a class).
Then select the red Open button (or the title of the course).
The curriculum is set up as a course organized into folders: Introduction and Extras, every unit, and End of Year Resources. You can use the red Quick Nav button (on the left) to navigate. 
Selecting the Quick Nav button will open the Table of Contents.
Making a selection from the Quick Nav menu will take you directly to that location in the course. It’s a great idea to open the Introduction and Extras and explore the teacher items.
You can also select a folder to navigate.
Throughout the online curriculum, teacher-only items will be at the top of a page labeled Teacher (in green). 
The Introduction teacher-only resource provides information about each component of the curriculum.
To open a resource, select View.
To close a resource and go back to the course, select the red Close button (in the upper right).
When you open a unit, you will see all unit-level resources and every chapter in the unit. From there, you can select a chapter.
When you open a chapter, you will see everything for the chapter at-a-glance.
Chapter resources are presented in the order teachers are most likely to use them. Teacher-only items will always be at the top (Chapter Planner, Expectations for Learning, Projectable Print Book, etc.), then the Student Book (and Image Gallery when included). Next you will see the additional chapter resources (Teaching Tools and multimedia resources such as videos, maps, websites, etc.). The ExperTrack chapter checkpoint will typically be the last item in a chapter.
Gallopade provides approximately 20 different types of Teaching Tools that are optional, assignable activities. Teachers can decide what they want to use and with which students. Some tools are standard for every chapter (Essential Questions, Vocabulary Builder, Vocabulary Review, Interactive Workbook, Vocabulary Quiz, Study Guide), and other tools will vary chapter by chapter (Graphic Organizers, Writing Prompts, Map Skill-Builders, Interactive Read Alouds, Project-Based Learning, etc.).
