SAVE TIME AND GAIN ACCESS TO CLASSROOMS YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE, OTHERWISE.
Once posted, anyone in the world can use your collaborative lesson. Generosity is built into a teacher-librarian's practise, but this enhances the possibilities.
Practically, however within one school it allows:
1) The same teacher to use a lesson more than once (really useful in a semestered year)
2) One teacher to see what another teacher is doing, to use or adapt the lesson (with your help of course)
3) A teacher who does not have the time or inclination to meet you physically, can communicate through e-mail and use library resources with information literacy advice built in.
4) The teacher-librarian can positively influence many lessons without a time or place commitment.
