A great site to look at first if you are looking for presentations is Slideshare. From around the world various people have put up their presentations from the sublime to out of the box.
Various people have asked for copies of the presentations that I have made over the years and I have set up my own slideshare account for others to access.

This site was in a magazine I was reading from the Womans Rural – yes it came from there …but maybe a lesson for us that we should turn over every stone when looking for ideas. Free Patterns has lots of templates and new ideas that can easily be used in the classroom and will bing new skills to the pupils.

The ” Don’t Quit ” poem has been around for a while but now a new slant with a video and support music – impacts the message a bit more and the photography is great.
Another great inspirational one that has been my favourite for ages – watch it and read and inspire others -)

Robert Burns was probably one of Scotlands best known advocates for enterprise and many schools in Scotland and on an international front are engaging more with his work and history. Enterprise ideas are their for schools to develop and through the Robert Burns World Federation a series of excellent resources have been developed and are being used by schools in Scotland. Other ideas relating towards enterprise and Burns can be found on the LTS web site

Ruuning short of ideas for a new business ? Company in England Abel Magnets doing A4 gloss / matt magnetic paper which can be put through an ink jet printer. They have a sample packs for sale at reasonable prices.
Ideas include – your own fridge magnets, business cards, a remember/ do not forget sign for the fridge , photo frames, reading words, Scottish words, famous quotes, ILU , Valentines ideas, peronal photographs etc. Just go on a visit up your local high street and see what is on offer.
Use a software package that produces multiple copies of a single business cards design and that allows importing of images and just put in the magnetic paper instead of card – then cut to suit. I did use The Print Shop but it is now off the market – maybe somebody has some tried and tested software that does exactly that ?
