Cait Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Teachernet has gone!! Did someone say National Strategies was going too? Quote
Deb Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Oh my! Good job the FSF isn't Government funded - I'd be bereft if the plug was suddenly pulled on this site! Phew! Quote
Steve Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Crikey, that's a surprise. They always seemed very well put together - and they recommended the FSF strongly which always made me feel very warmly towards them! Quote
Guest Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) There was a notice on the National Strategies website when I last looked saying that it wouldn't be available after a certain date and that all the documents would be on the National Archives site - maybe they will do the same with teachernet. Seems a shame to pop it somewhere where it might be hard to find esp as some stuff e.g. literacy units are still being used by us and nothing new has come in. Wonder what they are planning....

Steve Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 With respect to the national strategies site we did discuss the possibility of making some of the content available here, although when they said it would be archived I didn't take it any further. Quote
Guest Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 That would be really useful esp for some of the key documents e.g. EYFS framework/profile etc. I've just been on the the strategies site to start downloading the things I need but the message about it being moved and decommissioned seems to have vanished! Anyway am still going to get what I need for next year as am moving year groups and want to get my hands on it whilst I know where I can find it! Quote
Guest Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 I don't know how to do the link to another thread thing so copied and pasted it! Think I put it in News. End Of National Strategies Site :-( Dear Colleague, This website will be closing down in June 2011. The contents of the site will be moved to the National Archives where they will still be accessible. The first stage in the closedown of this site will be the removal of all ‘interactive elements’, including user log in, by the end of March 2011. These elements also include groups, discussions and the ability to track e-learning progress. Best Wishes The National Strategies Got this email today, shame, have found the site invaluable these last few years. Let's see what comes next. Quote
Guest Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 When searching on google recently for some old surestart business support resources, I accidently found myself in the national archives - it's was as easy to access as any other information site I've used and I was able to open and save the information I wanted - so hopefully, the national strategies info will be just as accessible.

Cait Posted April 20, 2011 Author Posted April 20, 2011 It doesn't make sense to me that they are archiving material that is still very much in use Quote
thumperrabbit Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 And now Teachers TV is going too Will there be anything left? Had a quick look at the National Archives site, why couldn't I find anything that relates to Early Years docs?! Quote
Cait Posted April 21, 2011 Author Posted April 21, 2011 Try here teachernet archive If you click on the last date, you get a screenshot of the site as it was on that day, you can use it as you would have Quote
thumperrabbit Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 Thanks Cait. I recieved a letter yesterday informing me that Nursery World is no longer to be available printed, just on-line. Just seems like everything is changing very quickly at the moment Quote

Just seems like everything is changing very quickly at the moment Crikey! Whatever next, I can't see how a paid for publication can justify that! What a shame, I circulate ours, some staff don't have internet access at home so wouldn't be the same Quote

We also use it as a group, but also some of the posters are useful, and to print them off would cost a lot of pennies, and then to stick them together would just not look right. I'm in two minds as to sign up for the on-line publication, I always seem to need a hard to copy to digest something Quote
Cait Posted April 22, 2011 Author Posted April 22, 2011 That's plain ridiculous! We circulate the copy and as you say, use the posters etc. Not everyone has access to an A3 printer - I certainly don't! Quote

Just seems like everything is changing very quickly at the moment Sorry NOT Nursery World but NURSERY EDUCATION MAGAZINE Quote
Steve Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 Ah, that's a bit less of a surprise. Thanks for the correction thumper! Quote
