So long Teachers TV!

Well it was good while it lasted but if you value any of the materials from Teachers TV then you have only until the end of this week to copy or download them. I knew that the site was no longer going to be funded by the British government but the promise that the materials [...]

I’m offering an hour of free coaching to the first five teachers who contact me wanting help with integrating ICT into their everyday teaching practice.
