Using social media to share ideas and resources
In recent years social media has really taken off as a means of sharing teaching ideas and resources. It has been particularly useful in helping teachers to understand and teach the new GCSE and A level History specifications.
Edexcel History Facebook groups
Edexcel GCSE History (9-1)
One of our teachers has set up a support group on Facebook for teachers on our new Edexcel GCSE History (9-1) qualification.
This closed group has over 1,500 members all discussing the new specification and sharing ideas and resources via a google drive.

Edexcel A level History
The same teacher has also set up an Edexcel A level History Facebook group which has around 350 members.

I am also available on these groups to notify teachers of any new resources and to answer questions.
