Introduction
Discover what classroom resources are and how you can use them in your lessons with this teaching wiki. Find links to some great teaching materials.
What are Classroom Resources?
Classroom resources are teaching materials and supplies that you can use in your lessons to help learning. These can be things like page borders, writing templates and colouring sheets, as well as physical tools like pens, pencils and glue sticks. Getting the most out of your resources will not only save you time and money, but it can also benefit a child’s ability to learn and develop.
Examples of Classroom Resources
There are an array classroom resources that you can use to enhance your child’s learning experience. These include:
Videos. Mixing audio with visual, they’re a great way to support teaching on a tricky subject and are brilliant for visual learners to grasp a subject.
What are Classroom Resources
PowerPoints. Presentations are always useful to use at the start of
a lesson to introduce a topic. It’s especially handy when you can break up information into bite sized chunks every slide.
Worksheets. These are essential in any classroom to help children
understand and engage with topics, great for whole-class discussions too. Coming in a variety of colour options, they can be more interesting and engaging than copying things into exercise books.
access when marking and to keep organised.
Books and dictionaries. Great to help promote research skills and
help children to learn even more about a subject independently.
Why is it important to use classroom resources for teaching and learning?
The use of classroom resources is important for both children and teachers to maintain an organised environment whilst helping children get the very most out of their learning experience. For example, PowerPoints, worksheets and anything else in between is a crucial foundation for a child’s learning journey. PowerPoints are a great way to help teach children important information, and worksheets are brilliant for putting their new knowledge to the test and working out if they need any more help.
Resources also provide a way of reinforcing new skills. Books, for example, provide a great opportunity for children to expand their research skills independently. Other resources such as videos also provide a fresh take on teaching and allow children to learn in a different way. Mixing your teaching up from time-to-time with different resources is a great way to keep children focused and engaged within their learning.
You could even try putting together classroom displays that focus on subjects, behaviour or attendance to help brighten up your class. This is a great way to encourage children to go above and beyond and keep aiming high.

Teaching today has changed a lot over the past years. Once it was all about learners being passive and listening in the classroom, but today learners are usually much more active in the classroom, and what better way to be active than by playing games .
The national curriculum in foreign languages in Iceland talks about the importance of keeping teaching methods diverse in order to light and sustain interest amongst students. Teachers can help sustain diversity in a variety of ways, for example by using activities that require students to be creative in thinking and by emphasizing individual learning and cooperative learning equally. A more specific way that teachers can use in order to keep diversity within the classroom is to not be afraid of using games as a teaching method along with other methods. According to the national curriculum games can be a good teaching method and games, such as role playing games, imitation games, theatrical expression and problem solving activities are especially fitting for all stages of language learning. Howard Gardner, who theories that humans have eight intelligences, claims that when exploring a certain topic in school it can, and should, be approached in different ways in order to maximize the chances of reaching all students in the classroom. One of these ways is “the personal way”, where the ultimate goal is to see if it is possible to approach a specific topic by using, for example, role play, or other interactions . In addition, Armstrong (2000) suggests board games as a teaching strategy that might suit students with interpersonal intelligence because they provide an excellent setting for interaction between students.
