You?re welcome, we can spare it ?yellow socks?
A staffroom full of sharers, payment for your labours,
Help getting off the GCSE starting blocks ?

While the sun shines ( even, miracle of miracles, during the school holidays for many of us! ) I thought it apt to focus on the positive this month. So here are just some of the ways Teachit can help bring a sunshiny smile to your face this term (though in the interests of accuracy I should point out the absence of actual yellow socks anywhere in our libraries ? sorry).

PS Easter saw the inaugural Teachit 'have your say day'.  It was wonderful to meet such passionate and articulate colleagues ? and extremely enlightening to find out what you think we're doing well and where there is room for improvement.  Watch this space to discover the changes we'll be implementing as a result of the day, and let us know if you'd like to have your say about your site ? we have questionnaires and everything!
