Any kind of text file such as Microsoft  Word files or PDF files can be uploaded to the site for others to use. MS Word is the most common text software and allows teachers to modify files they download to better suit their class, but it does not always stay in the same format and Japanese fonts are not always supported.  So PDF is the easiest format to use.  If you do not have a PDF writer program, simply email the document to nihongobc and we will convert and upload it for you.

1   Click the "Course Resources" link on the Main Menu

2    Click the "SubmitFile" link on the bottom of the Course Resources page

7   Click the "Auto Description" box near the bottom of the page and the site         will take the first 150 words of your description to use on the Course                 Resource page.  Or you can type a short description in the smaller                     "Description" box on the bottom of the page.
