It helps to sift out the materials that really helps teachers to improve pupil engagement and learning.<br /><br />Of course there is lots of cynical publishing - which rips off teachers and pupils financially and educationally. <br /><br />You are right to 'share everything' - mainly because it forces everyone (especially publishers) to raise their game - and to add more value. <br /><br />Publishing is - at the core - quality assurance+marketing. That is all. I would argue we still need those things (though I have a vested interest) and that these services are worth paying for.<br /><br />I know hundreds of teachers who work their behinds off, creating personalised materials for their kids, (and have little time for anything else) and share it willingly. But it is rarely used by others - because they don't know about it and it normally needs some changes to make it useful to others. In other words - it needs 'publishing'. This is a service that is worth paying for.<br /><br />Does this justify the silly money some publishers charge? or the old - unsustainable business models that many publishers still use? NO!<br /><br />But - Don't assume that all publishers or all businesses are in 'conflict' with the 'share everything' approach. It helps everyone.

It is really about the kids and when we have best practice or something which excites the kids then we should share that with all staff for them to excite the kids in there schools.<br />Keep up the good work.H4HAuctionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14025166560525758310noreply@blogger.com
