Blogs, tweets and more!

Well here I am, attempting to make use of this sadly neglected blog!

Recently I have been drawn more and more towards Twitter, and as a result have stumbled across some fantastic blogs and tweets linked to education. So in my attempt to redeem myself for leaving the tumbleweeds to travel aimlessly across this blog page I thought I would share my findings...

  • A fantastic phonics resource (currently a channel on You Tube) launches on it's own website later today - Mr Thorne Does Phonics is stuffed full of brilliant video clips to support phonics teaching and would be an excellent resources for both teachers and parents.

  • Mark Warner, the amazing person behind the fantastic resource site Teaching Ideas and also a great blogger has started to publish a series of Top ICT Tips for Teachers posters that are fantastic for reminding teachers of the ways ICT can help - the first poster is to do with keyboard shortcuts - priceless! These can be found here

  • Another great blog to read is The Heads Office - some great musings from a former Head who is very much still in the game with her views on the system today (also the lady responsible for my resurrection of this blog!!)

There are many many more to share, and I will aim to feature more of these as well as ramble on in my own little way from time to time!

A little plug now, we have added tons of new resources to the site recently including both freebies and ready mades, and have also taken on some great new suppliers. I'm beginning to get back to working on our own resources, so am always happy to accept the challenge - feel free to suggest resources and I'll do my best!

Until next time fellow bloggers and tweeters :o)
