I’ve been on my half term break this week, so I’ve spent quite a bit of time adding lots of new contributions. There are a wide range of new resources to explore online. Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to share their ideas and resources on the site.
Ideas to Inspire
I’ve also set up a new site this week. It’s called ‘Ideas to Inspire’ and it contains a number of fantastic Google Docs presentations. These presentations are a collaboration between lots of wonderful teachers around the world, giving ideas to inspire writing / maths / science in your classrooms. There are also some amazing presentations which share interesting ways of using the latest technology (e.g. Google Earth, Google Docs, Pocket Video Cameras, Twitter) in schools. Take a look at the site at www.ideastoinspire.co.uk. Of course, if you have any ideas which could be added to any of the presentations, please let me know
Are you Twittering?
Twitter has been in the news a lot recently. I’ve been twittering at @markw29 for over a year, but I’ve just set up a new @TeachingIdeas account. This new Twitter page will be the quickest way of finding out about new ideas and updates. If you’re on Twitter, feel free to follow either of my accounts. If you’re not Twittering yet, why not try?
Free Resources
Marneta Viegas from Relax Kids is offering free CDs and resources for schools! Simply visit this page and answer a few questions about what you are doing to improve health and well being in your schools. A fantastic offer!
If you have any contributions for Teaching Ideas, or Ideas to Inspire, I’d love to be able to share them. I hope that the sites continue to help you with your teaching.
Best wishes,
Mark Warner
