Today I have uploaded the following resource -

Useful websites found on diigo

http://www.sbac.edu/~tpl/info/onlineresources.htm - a great range of posters and some placemats for instant download.

http://www.printablepaper.net/category/a4 - This is a fab idea for a website and very useful! You can download and print the following paper and more - music, graphs, calendars, handwriting, dotted, lined, columns etc. I will definately find a use for this website.

http://www.infant-resources.co.uk/Alphabet_initial%20sounds.htm - some useful phonics and early handwriting worksheets to download

This is another great find via twitter - diigo is a great website for listing your favourite websites. It is great as I can now access my favourie links when I am away from my home computer and my iphone...if I ever get one :)

You can also join groups to find lists of websites to suit your own interests. I have set up a teaching links and free educational resources group here.

I still have lots to discover on diigo, it is early days for me and I am enjoying bookmarking all my favourite sites...the best bit is, it is so easy to use.

Today I have added the following resource -

4 Seasons Display Backgrounds

Free Resources for Teachers

I found an excellent website with lots of free resources for Primary Education, I am still trying to plough through all the great resources they have uploaded and will definately be visiting this site again!

- http://www.teachitprimary.co.uk/

The basic concept of Teachit Primary is this:

an extensive online library of adaptable lesson plans, worksheets, ideas, and activities, contributed by teachers active in the field
audio and video clips
topical news items and related resources
specialist areas for colleagues teaching particular aspects of citizenship
a suite of specially designed computer-based interactive units, written in Flash
a news service and information about jobs and opportunities
a substantial proportion of the resources available free in pdf format.

The response from our newsletter has been great, I am so glad our visitors (old and new) like our new site...and the free resources.

Sites for Teachers

Just-Teaching is now listed on sites for teachers - I think this website is a great find for anyone looking for classroom resources and I hope to find time to review some of the other websites listed.

Wikispace

You can also find our recent updates listed here - wikispace

Twitter

I think I may be addicted to twitter!

I spend far too long each day reading posts from people I am following, also I think I may spend too much time looking at all the great links people list. One day soon I plan to list some of my 'twitter finds' in my blog. You should give it a try, I wasn't convinced at first but now I am a twitter addict!!

More free resources will be uploaded later today!

Two free resources have been uploaded today -

New Weblinks 

http://www.teachernews.co.uk/- worth a visit for the latest Educational news and ideas for classroom resources. Registration is free and you can submit your own news items….and it is easy to use!

http://www.signpost-2-learning.co.uk/index.html- a website and business managed by my colleague (and friend) Kate. Kate is a very experienced Learning Support Teacher who always has time to offer great advice and ideas! If you happen to be in Edinburgh on the first Saturday of each month it is worth a visit to see the resources from signpost-2-learning.

http://www.teachingsupport.org.uk/- This is a super website with lots of great ideas and friendly advice. For anyone going through the HLTA process this is definitely the place to go!!

I have designed a range of resources to help organise helpers and jobs in your classroom. Last week I uploaded the 'Helping Hands' job chart in 2 colourways. I will be uploading this resource in many other colours in the coming weeks. Hopefully you can find one that suits you classroom and preferred colour scheme!

Today I have uploaded the following resources:

Helping Hands Resource - Individual Job Cards

Helping Hands Resource - 'my target'

Helping Hands Resource - Mini Award Certificates

Helping Hands Resource - Congratulations Display Resource

Let me know if there are any resources you would like to see in this range.

This link will take you to a thread on TES where a group called the Parasites (personally not keen on the name) list free resources. All the websites offer different resources and ideas for Teachers. A selection of these websites are noteed below -

http://www.ks1resources.co.uk/ - Marilyn's website is in support of the children's charity CLIMB.

http://www.primaryclassroomresources.co.uk/ - stock Usborne books and Orchard toys.

http://www.teachers-take-away.com/ - are now stocking stationery and educational toys.

http://www.primaryresourcecentre.com/ - now offer a peg labeling service, which may be helpful when setting up your new classroom for the next term.

http://www.communication4all.co.uk/HomePage.htm - The resources of communication4all help to support inclusion. They have a super range of resources to support early years education.

It is worth visiting the Parasites link to see the range of resources that you can quickly access to aid you with planning, assessment and classroom display. I hope to mention more of these fantastic websites on my blog very soon!

If you have a website or link you think would be worth adding to our site or would like a mention in our blog please email me and I will do my best to help you.

A recent request from one of our users was for us to create some border papers as a resource for the topic Night and Day. We hope to get these online later today.

We will also upload a number of topic resources for classroom display.

Along with twitter and our blog we list our new resources on TES staffroom. In this link you will find many other websites with free resources and classroom display resources to help Teachers.

Today I have created topic display papers and backgrounds to link to the topics in our free resources section. All our resources in the free section are instant printable downloads, we do require you to register (registration is free) as this allows us to keep tack of the most popular resources.

I am working on creating further classroom display resources linked to the topics you have to teach - so please email me if there are any topics you would like to see in our free resources section.

I also hope in the coming weeks to upload the worksheets we had on our previous website as I understand that with the holidays approaching (and reports to write) you may like some worksheets you can quickly lay your hands on.....anything to save some precious time! :)

Kerry

We have had a couple of emails asking why we need to have a registration process. Although we have replied to these emails I just wanted to highlight here, that registration is FREE and the only purpose it serves is for us to keep a closer eye on which downloads are the most popular and which ones are not doing so well :(  .......oh, and it also allows us to keep in touch and send you mail with our latest news and developments!

We are currently trying to upload a 'Birthday Display' but the file is quite large...fingers crossed it will appear very soon.

Thanks again for all your kind emails

Today I have added a free Pink colour resource and you will find it under misc in the Free Resources section. I also uploaded some free bookmarks to print and colour.

http://www.just-teaching.com/node/253

 I have been busy reading and sending emails related to our guest blogs and hope to bring you the first guest blog very soon. Please email me if you would like to feature in our blog or appear on our weblinks page.

I am now off to design some new free resources!

We started just-teaching 4 years ago as a means to sell teaching resources imported from America. Interest in our products grew and we wanted to offer our customers free downloads so for that reason just-teaching.co.uk was launched. 

Last year we thought the site  could do with an overhaul and wanted a more user friendly look. We have been working really hard behind the scenes to produce our new website www.just-teaching.com and although we will continue to sell our products, we are now working hard to upload a higher quality of downloads and furthermore want to use the site as a portal to promote other fantastic Teaching websites. 

In the future our blog will feature articles showcasing the talents of relevant websites that we love.

 So who are we?

Kerry  - I am a Primary Teacher  currently on maternity leave, my days are kept busy with our baby and running just-teaching. I also have a BAhons in design, I have a great love of computer aided design and previously worked in the design industry before returning to university to gain a Post Graduate degree in Education

Ross-  I am a design studio manager also with a BAhons in design. I have experience of web design and run my own company www.digitaldesignscotland.co.uk. I have enjoyed working on the new just-teaching website and hope it will now fulfill its new role promoting other websites whilst still being a successful enterprise for us.

Today we have uploaded topic display pages for night, day, sun, moon and stars. Remember you can email us if you have a topic display resource you would like to see on this site.

Our friends at http://www.primaryclassroomresources.co.uk have also been busy adding new resources to their site. They now stock games by Orchard Toys and an exciting range of books by Usborne.

In the future we will be adding guest bloggers, promoting and featuring some of our favourite Teaching weblinks. If you have an article or website you would like to see mentioned in our blog, please email us at mail@just-teaching.com

To let you visualise the regular updates we make to our blog and Free Resources we have created a timeline at Dipity -

Enjoy!
