				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I got bored the other night and created a &#8220;Facebook for teachers&#8221; type service that allows teachers to login and resource share.
<div></div>
<div>I&#8217;m not sure if it will be popular, it gets about 1 sign up a day, by my reconning thats quite good but I&#8217;m not entirely convinced.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Anyway&#8217;s Iv&#8217;e been looking at different styling options and come to the conclusion that I want to keep it simple, no big graphics or logos, just simple rounded edges and some colour coding for subjects..</div>
<div></div>
<div>I guess I wanted to give teachers somewhere they could share/edit lesson plans and be rewarded for contributing..  It also enables teachers to share ideas, have discussions, create groups of friends..   Everything<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span> you would expect from a facebook type environment is there..</div>
<div></div>
<div>If you want to check it out just visit <a href="http://primaryschoolteaching.co.uk/">Primary School Teaching</a> or browse to <a href="http://primaryschoolteaching.co.uk/">http://primaryschooleteaching.co.uk</a></div>
<div></div>
<div>I have asked a few schools I work with to consider contributing all of their lesson plans over a 6 month period as a sort of trial thingy&#8230;</div>
<div></div>
<div>I recognise that names must be removed and data protection must be fulfilled and I hope that no head teachers use the system to monitor their teachers plans..</div>
<div></div>
<div>As always with new systems like these there will be lots of people snarling and highlighting the short falls.  For now I will concentrate on the positives and see where it takes us..</div>
