About Teachnet UK

Teachnet is a project from the Teachers Network organisation in the US, a non-profit organisation with a long history of working with teachers to develop and share classroom resources. A similar project in Ireland [Teachnet Ireland] is also well established.

The core funding for this programme has been provided by the Citi Foundation since 2004 and we are very grateful for their support and sponsorship.

Each year, the Teachnet UK programme involves some 40 or more teachers from schools across England, developing resources to share. Our teachers have developed a broad spectrum of classroom resources and these are now available for download and adaptation by teachers across the world, either from this site, or from the Teachers Network site in the US.

Teachers in the programme are at a wide range of ICT skill level. Some already have advanced ICT skills but wish to apply these for a specific educational need; others are just starting out on the road to using ICT for their subject teaching. And so the programme is able to provide each teacher with the professional development required, and assistance with the preparation of materials.
Adobe remains very supportive of the programme.

Successful Teachnet projects share the following criteria ...

• Address a classroom use of ICT in a subject;
• Provide a self-contained unit of work of around 4-5 hours' duration;
• Include student and teacher support, and all other materials
  required to deliver the unit
• Are tried and tested with students, in the classroom
