Tes Resources is a web marketplace where teachers can find and share teaching materials. Its library lists more than 900,000 resources made by teachers, including lesson plans, worksheets, presentations, games, activities, flashcards, and exam-practice questions. Materials cover early years through post-16, including special educational needs, and subjects such as English, mathematics, science, history, computing, music, and psychology. Visitors can search by keyword or browse collections and featured author shops. Joining is free, and authors set whether their resources are free or paid; individual paid resources have a minimum price of £1. Resource pages provide previews, and users can review items they bought or downloaded. Editable files are available, but formats vary, so check compatibility before downloading. A School Licence lets a purchaser share a resource with up to 25 colleagues at their institution, but not re-host the files on another platform. The marketplace also hosts teaching materials from the Google for Education community, including ideas involving Google Docs and Google Classroom.
