Teaching is one of the most difficult and rewarding professions. You get to have a hand in the development of future generations, but you’re also tasked with developing said generations into a group of responsible, creative and hardworking adults. No pressure. In order to make this wonderful job more possible, here are 10 handy resources for teachers that can make class time more productive and fun for both you and the student.

Tumblr Themes
If you’re a dedicated government worker assisting too many kids in a single classroom, creating a Tumblr site with homework instructions, advice, quizzes and question and answer pages can help alleviate concerns about giving each student enough personal attention. Plus, the shy ones may be more comfortable speaking to you online than in person.
