Subjects and Topics
If your SkillBlox includes activities from the library, you will automatically see a list of the subject-specific skills that the activities in your SkillBlox align to. These are automatically populated based on the activities that you've added from the library. Click on the checkbox next to the skills that are most relevant. For example, in this SkillBlox, "Shop Online" is the core theme.
If you haven't added any activities from the library, you'll click + Add Skill to manually add skills from Math, Digital Literacy, Health Literacy, Financial Literacy, Civics Education, and Workforce Preparation.
