Resources For Primary School Teachers

Derek TankThe Internet has made it so easy for primary school teachers to plan, research and prepare for classes that sometimes you cannot help but wonder – how did teachers pull things off back in the day? Whether you are new to the profession or a veteran who has handled more than a few hundred students, we have compiled a great list of resources that would be of great help to just about anybody. We have also decided not to focus too much on one particular subject so that teachers from all domains can find something useful here.Here are some of the best primary school resources: 1. TED-Ed Technology, Entertainment, and Design or better known as TED has developed a youth initiative known as TED-Ed. It is basically a sea of endless information, teachers can look up information ranging from the human anatomy to the animal kingdom. The best part is that they have a treasure trove of videos to choose from. Plus, they have a wonderful community that keeps creating all the time. If you want to try your hand at creating your own lessons and content, TED-Ed is the perfect place to start. 2. SciShow KidsA great way to capture your students’ imagination is by exposing them to great but short videos. SciShow Kids is a YouTube channel that focuses on producing such content. Simple questions such as “Why can I see the moon during the day?” are answered in great detail in under 5 minutes. Concepts that could very well take you over 30 minutes to explain are made easy with these videos. The narration and design elements employed by SciShow Kids have been appreciated by teachers and students worldwide. You might want to show them to your class as well. 3. Share My LessonWhat is the best way to quickly learn and get better at your teacher job? It’s simple – speak to your colleagues, share lesson plans, tips, tricks and so forth. The folks at Share My Lesson have taken this idea to a whole new level, allowing educators from around the globe to share resources, ideas and lesson plans on their easy to use platform. This service is worth the try. Who knows? A lesson plan that has worked in a popular school in London might work well with your class too! Or, someone might need your material and help in Uganda. Either way, Share My Lesson is a godsend to students and teachers around the world. 4. Kahoot! The gaming industry took the world by storm and ended up changing the textbook definition of entertainment for kids. In the last few years, technology has grown leaps and bounds, allowing people to dive into the world of virtual reality. Kids yearn for interactive media wherever they go – even in school. This is a fact. Kahoot is an online platform that allows educators to design their own games based on lessons to quench this thirst. If things get pretty dull and boring in your class (do not worry, that’s a common scenario), Kahoot can bail you out. Your lesson plan basically turns into a storyboard – and you get to model your game after it for all possible devices, such as desktops, smartphones, and tablets. Conclusion As technology, science and the world around us continue to evolve, educators often find themselves challenged and seek new ways to update themselves. The above-mentioned resources not only shape teachers to be evolved versions of themselves but also make sure that students get educated in the best way possible. Understand that the internet is an expansive sea of knowledge. There are tons of platforms and resources out there, the core idea is to cultivate a habit among educators to explore. Hopefully, this list will ignite that spark!Derek Tan writes articles relating to education. Please visit Canadian International School for more information or visit www.cis.edu.sg/learning/primary.
