*** Teachable.net ***

Teachable.net delivers first-class resources to teachers on the front line who need extra material and don’t want to go searching ‘the web’ to find it.  Whether it is a polished Powerpoint presentation or a worksheet and activity for a cover lesson,  we hope you can find it on this site.

 

How does it work

You can browse and search for relevant resources by subject, topic, age group and ability level.  All the most relevant resources are then displayed, clearly ranked by the “teachability” of the resource:  the aim is to make it as quick as possible to find the best material.

Of course, there are lots of free sites out there with a mixed offering of downloads, but we think there are some good reasons to pay for the downloads here:

1.  Good things don’t come for free:  ever searched on Google for hours only to find you could have done better yourself.  By paying you get the best quality.

2.  Teachable.net net is very easy to use.  One click to search and one click to download.

3.  Costs less than the price of a coffee per downloaded lesson (and we’re not even factoring in a cappuccino!)… and half of that goes back to reward the contributing teacher.

You can preview everything before you download the full version, and when you do download the full version we grant you a Creative Commons license the right to copy and share the resource (for educational use).  When you create an account we even store the downloads you have selected under My Downloads, so there’s no more searching around on your hard-drive for the file you downloaded last week.
