Teachers Paying Eachother

After finishing my 3rd field experience at Uni, I found myself with copious amounts of resources, worksheets, lesson plans, and smartboard files, amongst many others. I felt like I was left with stuff that would not necessarily be used again until my next field experience. Stuff that takes up a lot of space in my room. After skimming through different teacher resource websites I have finally come across one that solves my dilema. The site is entitled Teachers Pay Teachers.

This site allows instructors to upload their various items, and to offer other instructors around the world to download those items (whether it be for free or for a fee). One can also post physical items for sale, which can include textbooks, exercise books, CDs, amongst other things. This site has allowed me to post several items and to subsequently sell multiple copies of each. The site does tale a commission from every transaction, but this method is definitely a great way for a teacher to put all those old lesson and unit plans to good use.
