Teachers are in the know with TES Resources

Keep in touch with colleagues and what's happening in the teaching world by visiting TES Resources , and sharing the latest tips, ideas and best practice with the rest of the teaching community.

Focused on keeping teachers in the know, TES Resources is providing teachers with collections of the most relevant materials. The aim is to support all teachers through highlighting free materials that are useful, timely and, most importantly, relevant to current events.

TES Resources has introduced new pages on social networks to give teachers more choice on how to receive updates. You can join TES Connect on Facebook, Twitter and You Tube to hear about the latest news, resources and community discussions as they happen.

The site is always improving with new tools to make it quicker for teachers to find the most relevant materials. For example, on the TES Resources homepage, you'll find an Editor's Picks area, updated every week, according to the biggest news headlines or school calendar. This is where the most topical collections can always be found.

Just to give you a sample, here's this week's selection of Editor's Picks:

• Budget & Afghanistan resources
• Wimbledon 2010
• US Oil Spill collection
• World Cup 2010
• Pirate collection
