  1. Introduction for EdReNe

  2. What is Teachable.net? • In the UK, there is no current central government initiative to help teachers share digital resources • Teachable.net was started to allow teachers to download useful teaching resources for their class preparation • We accept material from any contributing teacher, moderate it for quality, and charge other users per file to download it • Effectively Teachable is an online publisher of teacher-generated content • Primary market is younger teachers who haven’t got many resources of their own

  3. In the UK, teachers are changing the way they look for resources

  4. How does Teachable work?

  5. We are a bit different • We share all of our income 50:50 with contributors to reward the best content • We make all the files available in editable formats (MS Office), and with a Creative Commons Non-Commercial Attribution Share Alike licence; we encourage teachers to ‘remix’ the ideas • The UK has been a leading investor in education technology; our goal is to spread the expertise about practical use of this technology to English speaking countries around the world

  6. What can you find on Teachable • Interactive Powerpoint presentations • Accompanying worksheet and activity guides • Some videos and Flash animations (although most teachers do not have the IT skills) • Some accompanying lesson plans – although teachers do not seem to find this as useful • We are also used by other organisations as a distribution channel for free content into schools (e.g. Google Schools and Save the Children charity); listing the material on Teachable is a good way of gettting one of content available when teachers need it

  7. We believe classroom teachers need three different lesson inputs Ideas and inspiration e.g. Teaching journals, online forums, Wikipedia Adaptable digital materials Teachable Complex professional resources e.g. Software, books, lab equipment Perception of value

  8. We are growing rapidly as the number of quality contributions increase

  9. We now have over 3,000 files, arranged under 1,200+ resources = 1,280 = 320

  10. Teachable at EdReNe • We are keen to learn how resource sharing is being facilitated in other countries • Conversely, we have developed advanced skills in online marketing and building enthusiasm within the online teacher community (with over 50,000 unique visitors to the site monthly) and can advise other members on how to use these tools
