Links are missing for several of these resources.

Hi Tracey, the resources that you are trying to access do not have a link associated with them. They will need to be imported into your course using Canvas Commons. The instructions on how to access each resource is in the description. I'll add the guide here too. How do I use Commons?  Hopefully that helps. 

Thank you for revising the page to make that clearer.
