Australian educators spend so much time creating and marking practical assessments, implementing behaviour management, developing engaging lesson plans, and doing a myriad of other essential tasks in a day that there is little time available for sourcing high-quality online teaching resources. itc publications created thinkdrive to help educators access the very best educational resources in Australia in one convenient place. Aussie teachers are already some of the busiest people in the country, so we developed a solution to make their lives easier while simultaneously enriching their students' learning.
What Is itc thinkdrive?
thinkdrive is an online platform that houses thousands of relevant, useful teaching resources in one place. Using the Queensland Curriculum Assessment Authority's cognitive verbs (i.e thinking skills or common curriculum elements) as a guide for developing useful material, itc publications have created a platform full of enriching online teaching resources. Each resource is simple for educators to access and implement within the classroom, and all of thinkdrive's learning resources help children understand and demonstrate cognitive verbs such as ‘explain', ‘define', ‘analyse', and ‘compare'.
The Benefits Of Using itc thinkdrive's Online Teaching Resources
itc thinkdrive's learning resources offer advantages to both teachers and students, so it's no wonder that more schools are adopting this innovative digital resource.
- It's easy to use. One of the best parts about thinkdrive is its intuitive layout. It's so straightforward and easy to use, and finding resources for lesson plans is a breeze.
- Everyone in the school can access thinkdrive. There aren't a hundred different usernames and passwords, and you don't need special training to understand the software. thinkdrive is accessible to every staff member and student with the school link.
- Offer real-time feedback to students. Providing each student with useful, relevant feedback is so time-consuming. thinkdrive provides feedback resources so you can offer meaningful and valuable feedback with students quickly, easily, and efficiently.
- Save yourself time. Finding excellent educational resources in Australia can be time-consuming, and it takes time away from planning lessons. With thinkdrive, everything is at your fingertips and ready to go.

These quality materials pay for themselves with just a handful of uses, and we have no doubt it will be one of the most invaluable purchases your school can make.
- Give your students access to the best learning resources. As educators, we all want our students to be engaged in their learning and achieve high outcomes. However, finding teaching resources that enable maximum student interaction is difficult and, sometimes, when you do pages them, they don't meet the curriculum requirements. thinkdrive's online teaching resources are all tested to ensure students are getting rounded educational experiences from each learning material.

- You have larger classrooms of students. The more students in a class, the more unlikely it is that the teacher can deliver the high quality of personalised instruction they likely wish they could provide. By giving teachers access to thinkdrive's extensive range of learning resources, you are providing them with the foundational tools to deliver an engaging lesson, leaving them with more time to focus on the students who need the extra attention.
- Your school is located in a regional or remote area. Just because a school is situated in a remote location does not mean that students in those areas should miss out on any opportunities or lessons that urban students enjoy. thinkdrive provides the highest quality online teaching resources, allowing for a more well-rounded educational experience for students all over Australia and New Zealand.
