Possible new intro text:
Welcome to the OER4Schools professional learning resource for teachers. The resource is a complete and free-to-use professional development programme for developing interactive pedagogy with and without Information and Communication Technology. The resource was developed in a Zambian primary school context but is widely applicable in other contexts to improve teaching and learning.
The resource has been developed by the University of Cambridge Centre for Commonwealth Education as part of the OER4Schools project [embed link to page].
Working on this resource
This talk page collects useful links together, for working on the resource. For creating new sessions, see OER4Schools/SessionTemplate. The information on this page is at a slightly higher level, to do with management of the resource overall.
Pages with To Do items

Overarching concerns template

How to add a session to the OER4Schools resource
Create a new page from the session template, and paste in
{{OER4S}}
at the top, followed by the page contents.
To generate the participants version: At the bottom on the menu of the new page, you see 'Participants version' in red: Click on that link, and on the page insert
{{includeparent}}
This automatically generates the participants' version of the page (which will stay in sync and up-to-date as the Facilitators page changes).
More detailed instructions on the OER4Schools/SessionTemplate.
ICT parts of the sessions
See OER4Schools/ICT. They are kept separate so that they can be moved between sessions more easily.
