Resources

imageAfter presenting a webinar for Eduwebinar last week and reading the feed back, which was very encouraging, I thought I’d put in one place a list of the materials and suppliers I have used.  Many of these I have mentioned on other posts but I thought having them in one place might be helpful…so…apart from non-fiction books in your library ( 680,700’s, ) which is where my students started, the following have assisted my journey:
