Hello,
I am a teacher/coach for middle and high school students in California. The classes are structured so that they start with intro stuff like "given A and B find A+B" and gradually go up to more advanced competitive programming problems.
I want to use codeforces as a platform for practical classes so that the students seamlessly "graduate" to traditional codeforce-style problems and all the practical lessons are in one place. Is it ok to use codeforces for this?
My plan so far is to - Add problems I have into polygon - Create a series of contests out of them "Intro lesson", "dynamic programming lesson" etc - Add existing codeforces problems to the contests where appropriate.
Is this an appropriate way to use codeforces? And/or should i be using mashups (or other existing codeforces functionality) instead?
Thanks, Akim.

I think meshups would be the right way to organize such contests.
mashups *
Is it possible to create mashups for other people? I (the coach) want to create problems that my students (participants) would solve.
Yes. Create a mashup then on the middle of the page on right, you'll find invitations -> manage invitations. Click and you can invite your students. Other option would be to make a group.
