Our fabulous IT teacher sent out a link to this website and it looks great - especially for PYP schools with their focus on values education.
Inspire My Kids is a website where you can find real life stories to inspire the kids in your life. The site is organized under four headings:
Values
- such as goodness, perserverance, responsibility and sportsmanship
Topics
- such as leadership, charity, environment, sports and music
Age Range
- 5+, 8+, 12+, 18+ and All
Format
- article, podcast, reference or video
It looks like a great resource and one which I know I will be sharing with my class - both as inspiration for their own projects, education on what other kids their age are doing and as a forum for the amazing things they are already doing. Thanks for sharing, Matthew!

Thanks so much, Mike! I have been teaching in PYP schools around the world for the past 12 years and this is an amazing resource that I only wish I knew about earlier! Once I really get into using it more with my kids I will be sure to be in touch with any ideas. Until then, thank you for such a great website!
