What a gold mine of resources you have there Declan.. I like the way you have used Templates to tie the design together, and you have all the text content in there with consistency, with some media starting to show up. I'm sure many teachers will find your resources interesting, useful and or inspiring...
A while back I proposed a campaign to get casual teachers involved on Wikieducator. Casual teachers, or relief teachers have a hard life taking full time teachers classes in short, usually one off affairs. Behavioral issues can be at their worst, and support almost non existent! Relief teachers have to be very resourceful to get through their day. The ones I have met usually have a book of tried and true lesson plans and techniques for getting through, and they carry that book of stuff, everywhere they go. Imagine if we could establish an intuitive, consistent and easy to follow structure on WIkied for such lesson plans and their supporting resources? Much like what you have established on the St Michaels pages.. and that a campaign targeting casual teachers managed to see their private and sometimes guarded book of tricks coming onto the wikieducator.. and Wikieducator becoming the support that so many (especially younger) relief teachers need. I think Wayne picked up on this idea and started the Handouts4Teachers<http://wikieducator.org/Handouts4Teachers>project... Is St Michaels work part of that initiative? I haven't been able to put my money where my mouth is there as we don't have much of a need for such resources in tertiary training... at least not that I have yet recognised.. there might be some way to bridge though.. sorry, just thinking out loud.
