Teachit Trails

Teachit’s resource libraries are bulging at the seams. In terms of variety, this is wonderful news, but in terms of accessibility, it can now (in our larger libraries) be a little tricky trying to work out where to start. Teachit Trails are navigational tools which provide an optional route through a scheme or subject area. Each trail comes complete with a ‘trail map’ – an at a glance list of unearthed Teachit treasures (useful, tried-and tested or favoured resources) and a ‘trail guide’ – a set of detailed notes, pointers or suggestions which we hope will act as your trusty trail companion.

Our Teachit Trails are listed below. Within each trail you'll find a list of associated resources. The trails are all for Teachit members only, as they include links to editable versions of resources and some ready-made whizzies.

Like everything else on Teachit, this collection will grow. If you're interested in writing some Teachit Trails (and earning royalties for them) please email contribute@teachit.co.uk to find out how.
