I frequently find my phone packed full of interesting and inspiring educational ideas. My photo roll is crammed with Twitter screenshots, my notes page is stuffed with blog links and my favourites tab is quite frankly overflowing with sites to peruse.
My main problem is that I can never locate them easily enough as they have been saved or bookmarked in any manner of ways.
To resolve this, and to help keep my inspiration slightly more streamlined for the impending academic year, I hope to use this blog post to keep track of the wealth of approaches, plans and educational theories I’m fortunate enough to stumble across. Perhaps it could be of use to others too!?
Hopefully all credit has been given to those who masterminded the strategies or brought them to my attention. Thanks to all who contribute fantastic ideas for fellow education-enthusiasts.
