Why Teacher Jotter could help your professional development

Written by Matthew Price   // November 5, 2011   // Comments Off

Teachers are always learning 

To make progression in any career, it’s important to learn from those around you.

Teaching is no different, with the best professionals regularly observing colleagues, sharing work and reflecting on best practice. However, the busy nature of school life means you might not get as much time as you’d like to interact with other professionals.

To help improve your communication and professional development, we’ve created Teacher Jotter.

What is Teacher Jotter?

Sharing free resources and lesson plans
Teacher Jotter is a social network, designed specifically to meet the needs of teachers. As a user of the service, you’ll have all the benefits of a social network such as the ability to make contacts, message users and personalise your profile. 

The difference is, Teacher Jotter also has a dedicated resource sharing area, allowing upload or download of files for anybody on the network.

How Teacher Jotter can help you

Teacher Jotter will save you time. Support and ideas can come from anybody in your community. With your colleagues best work stored on the network, you’ll never be short of ideas or inspiration.

Using the sharing facility, you can improve the quality of your teaching. Working together with your contacts, you’ll be able to play to each others strengths, ensuring only the best content is used in your lessons.

Users of Teacher Jotter can also use the service to search for jobs. The option to add your C.V and customise your profile means you can effectively advertise your skills and experience to potential employers.

Most importantly though, the service will help your professional development. Building a network of contacts gives users the chance to discuss techniques, issues and practice. This support and discussion will help you learn and develop your skills, ultimately making you a better teacher.
