Teaching Ideas Update - 31st December 2007
Here's a copy of my recent update message for those who don't subscribe the mailing list:
Hi,
It's holiday time for me here in the UK, so I've been able to add a lot of new material to Teaching Ideas, and make a few other changes...
New Ideas and Resources - Take a look at the new content, including Jailbreak (a super cross-curricular Maths and ICT activity), Adjective Alphabet (a simple way of collecting adjectives for your written work), and lots of new printables in the Maths and Classroom Management sections. Look at the New Ideas page to see what's been added recently. Don't forget the new photos on the Display Photos site, or the new messages in the Teaching Forum too. Thank you to the contributors.
Organisation - Teaching Ideas continues to grow quickly, so I've been tidying things up a little lately. The contents pages have been re-organised, and some things have been moved to a new location. I hope that this makes things easier to find, but I realise that there are some areas that could still do with a spring clean!
Quick Contributions - As I'm a full-time teacher, it's difficult to add new ideas and contributions as quickly as I would like to be able to. However, at the bottom of each of the contents pages, there is now a new 'Submit an Idea' form. This allows you to add one of your own fantastic lesson ideas, which will appear on the same page once it is moderated (normally within 24 hours). Any ideas submitted using these forms may be added to their own dedicated page on the site at a later date, so please leave your name so that I can credit your contribution, if you would like me to).
Of course, you can still contribute ideas and resources using the Share Your Ideas form, or by email.
Happy Birthday! - I started Teaching Ideas in 1998 while I was at university training to be a teacher. So, 2008 is the tenth birthday of the site. It's hard to believe that it's been going for 10 years. The site has grown enormously because of the numerous contributions from kind teachers all around the world, so THANK YOU to everyone who has taken the time to share their ideas, support the site, or send feedback since then. I'm incredibly proud of what Teaching Ideas has achieved, and I hope to continue working on it for another ten years at least!
Happy New Year, and Best Wishes for 2008.
