Eilidh on the Front Page!

Click here for an introduction to TESconnect.

TESconnect has launched

Report by Craig Kind

TESconnect


Top UK teacher Eilidh Milnes is ready to play a key role as the British teaching community embraces its bright and buoyant future. One giant cyber-leap for teachers everywhere, the new social network and resource sharing platform for teachers, TESconnect, is set to radically change the educational landscape. An impassioned source at TES said the following:
"Hundreds of teachers and everyone here at TES have worked tirelessly to get TESconnect to where it is now, but more importantly, our efforts would all amount to nothing were it not for people like Eilidh and countless others. There are over 500,000 teachers being brought together in ways that were never before possible, until now. We’re connecting to each other and sharing tried-and-tested lesson plans between teachers who are hundreds of miles apart. Offering each other experience, inspiration and advice — all in an instant. The good that will come of this, for teachers, is potentially limitless."
Fellow TES members are particularly thrilled at the prospect of connecting to and hearing some of Eilidh ’s own resources and ideas.
In an interview, one member told us:
"Eilidh has been doing some really good things up to now, so I’m looking forward to sharing notes and resources... "
