Contributing update – November
Teachable is primarily a community organisation aimed at rewarding teachers for sharing their most useful teaching materials. You’ll be pleased to hear we are doing just that.
We’ve just done the quarterly calculations, and we have 15 ‘super-contributors’ whose files have been downloaded over 100 times on Teachable.net.
The top 5 contributors have all earned over £500 from their files so far, and will earn hundreds of further pounds (or credits) as we grow.
We want YOU to join them, and from now on we are going to keep you more informed about what kind of contributions we most need. We will post a monthly update on what is most needed, and some subject specific guidance.
Generally we have two simple tests for contributed files:
- Would they save another teacher more than an hour of preparation time (even if they do have to be adapted a little?)
- (If they are paid-for) Would you pay for these files? Are they polished enough?
Perhaps the best way of finding out what our members like is to look at the top most popular files so far:
1. States of Matter (contributor: Simon Ball)
2. Generating Electricity (contributor: Barnaby Grimble)
3. Investigating Current (contributor: Joanne Holloway)
4. Digestive Enzymes (contributor: Abigail Laing)
5. ‘Nothing’s Changed’ – Tatamkhulu Africa (Teachable Team)
6. Heat Transfer – Fun Quiz Game (contributor: Henry Cordy)
You can also still take advantage of our Buried Treasure competition.
