Social Media

Social media sites are virtual places where teachers can network, share resources including professional learning opportunities, and engage in discussions about teaching. Here are a few examples of Facebook pages and groups run for or by teachers:

Your community

  • Your local library can be a great resource for accessing free professional reading. In addition to books, DVDs, and other resources many libraries have free internet and computing facilities and may offer online resources such as training modules and subscriptions to academic journals or databases.
  • Check with your local council for any events available to community members in your area e.g. computer and portable device training.
  • Network with other teachers to share professional learning opportunities. If you are a TRT, check if a host school/site has room for you to attend their professional learning activities  – the answer won’t always be ‘yes’ but it is worth asking.
