The power of Post-its in teaching

With such exciting advancements being made daily with edtech, it can be easy to forget about what the more simple resources can offer. Yorkshire maths teacher Kayleigh Blackburn tells us why she considers sticky notes to be an essential part of the teacher toolkit.
If I had one resource I had to keep, a sort of desert island resource, it would be sticky notes. I’ve spent the last year or so coming to this conclusion, and it’s a brave one since I also love my mini whiteboards, yet when I think about the possibilities and uses, Post-its win. This led me to present recently at TM Sheffield, where I found a lot of fellow admirers and we started to swap ideas. I had told a white lie in the title of my presentation, ‘101 uses of sticky notes’ though I’m sure given enough time I could come up with that many. So instead, below is more aptly titled ‘The Power of Post-its’, some ideas to spark your imagination for the classroom.
