Have you heard about Microsoft’s new Partners in Learning network?

I have been part of the Partners in Learning Community for around 5 years now and it has made a positive impact not just on my own professional development, but also the teachers that I work with and more importantly it has made an impact on the learning of the young people in our community.

Last week at #BETT2012 the brand new Partners in Learning network was officially launched: www.pil-network.com As you can see from the current home page below I can’t speak more highly of this community and urge you if you are a teacher or involved in education to join this community, after all what have you got to lose? It is FREE!

It is really exciting to see the new look and feel to the site, it really is awesome. As soon as you go to log in you can see many of the new features, for example it is really easy to register or to sign in you can do this from either a windows live id, facebook, gmail or yahoo id… what else could you ask for?

Once you are in you can start browsing all of the free content and resources that are on there, Microsoft’s new Learning Suite is there now for you to download, I will talk about this in a future blog post.

You can then also upload your own content, resources and tutorials and if you do then you can be rewarded with gaining some cool badges as recognition for your hard work. Here are some I have already acquired.

Better still when you join and start using the network you can start to build up contacts and start to collaborate and start to form professional relationships with other teachers not just here in the UK but all over the world.
