Jenny Eather has been a long time contributor to the world of online teaching resources and unfortunately most of them have now gone to the commercial world. This year she has released a great animated maths dictionary which we can only hope will remain free for a little while longer yet.
It has hundreds of animated examples of key mathematical concepts that will look great on your interactive whiteboard. Be sure to check it out here today.
Whilst I do not begrudge anyone in education the opportunity to make as much financial success from their expertise as possible there is always the ugly issue of having to pay to learn when the commercialisation of education occurs.
Jenny Eather - The brains behind rainforest maths has now monetized her brilliant writing website www.writingfun.com which is a real shame for teachers like myself around the globe who used this on a very regular basis with their students.
The site is free until September 1.
We wish Jenny Eather all the best in taking the site in a new direction and the search begins for another great FREE e. I'd love to hear any suggestions.
As a quick update to this article in 2022. Jenny Eather’s great site has been sold and does not exist as it once did. If you are looking for an equally good alternative, I strongly recommend literacyideas.com. It provides everything writingfun once did and more for free. You will not be disappointed.

I have been regularly using this site for several years to teach my students about different text types and share examples with them, and I just realised that I do not have it up on Edgalaxy.
Jenny Eather's Writing Fun is a brilliant tool for any English teacher. It contains step-by-step instructions on constructing all significant text types, such as persuasive, explanatory, narrative and so on and has loads of examples from students to share on your interactive whiteboard.
It also contains various planning tools and aids to help your students get the most from their writing sessions. Entirely simply, this is my number one pick for writing resources and I strongly recommend you check it out here.
Lesson Plans, Teaching Ideas, Classroom Posters, Educational Apps, Tech for Teachers & Students.
