Websites for Information: Recommends

Which websites provide good, reliable and up-to-date information that's easily useable and translatable into practice in the classroom?

Those that I use regularly include:

Merlin John Online
http://www.agent4change.net
I've recently discovered this one. Features news and really good articles.

National Education Network
http://www.nen.gov.uk/

Innovation Unit
http://www.innovation-unit.co.uk/
Lots of useful links off this site. I've found the research pieces particularly useful.

Futurelab
http://www.futurelab.org.uk/
Is an enormous site. Again, like the Innovation Unit, lots of really useful publications, research and next-practice case studies.

Twitter is becoming a very useful tool for me in finding new materials and connecting to practitioners. It does need managing once you're following more than a few people... particularly if any of them are avid tweeters.. and could become a full-time job in itself.

The key is to get connected to new learning that can directly impact back in your own context... not to spend all your life chasing your own tail....
