NRDB is a swapshop for teachers to exchange resources for VLEs. Launched for the new school year, it has 1100 resources so far. You can search by subject, key stage, learning time and even learner type, and use keywords. Local Authorities opt to fund it via a small change from Oct 2009, so passwords require membership first. See www.ndrb.org.uk for more details.
You should already be familiar with TES if you have ever looked for a post in Education in the UK, but the site has two other reasons for a visit.
TES has a membership of 829,000+ teachers, who contribute to lively debates about their subjects, and any other educational topics, via forums. It is simply the best way to keep up to date with what matters now in your subject(s).In addition, there is a fantastic collection of 39,000+ resources which are available to share, with comments from some who have downloaded them. Resources can be searched by keyword, subject, type and Key Stage.
Anyone who is serious about finding excellent resources, as used by real teachers in the classroom, should see www.tes.co.uk. You need to register to download, but it's a small price to pay for what you can get in return.
