Online Teachers Resources

Cream_crackers

Are there online teaching resources specifically for Ireland and our curricula? I have seen:

http://www.scoilnet.ie/ very messy and caters to too many people. Resources good but site not user friendly

http://teachingassistant.ie/Login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fDefault.aspx
looks good but only for primary and ouch €85pa subscription

http://www.teachnet.ie/SitePages/ListTeachnetResource.aspx
looks great all ICT resources which I'm sure will become more popular as teachers do CPD in ICT

what are thoughts on the above or any other websites you've come across for teachers in Ireland? Would appreciate input from any primary or post-primary teachers. Thanks

Are you looking for resources yourself or are you doing research on online resources?

Both really. I started looking for resources and could only find suitable well laid out sites in other countries and I thought maybe if teachers here felt the need for it, we could look into setting something up where teachers could upload and download resources for all subjects. So, if teachers think that it would be useful or not useful please make a comment.

I think that's a great idea. I use the website www.tes.co.uk all the time. It has amazing resources and I can usually find very good worksheets/powerpoints relating to my subject (English), even though it is obviously designed around the GCSE/ A Level curricula. I have yet to find any kind of site based around the Irish system that's even half as good. It's crazy when you think of all the amazing resources that must be sitting on people's hard-drives, going unused! I would happily contribute to such a site.
