Teachers from across the country can now share their professional ideas and thoughts on a web portal launched by President Pratibha Patil Friday.

The portal www.teachersofindia.org was launched on the occasion of Teachers' Day.

"The portal will offer a platform for sharing best practices and generating discussion in teaching community," Patil said while launching the portal.

The initial phase of the portal, developed by Azim Premji Foundation with the National Knowledge Commission, envisages a space for teachers to express their ideas and share their thoughts.

"It also envisages beginning of a district-wise directory of resource organisations working in education, which will help teachers gain access to material and people in their area," said a statement issued by the president's office.

During the subsequent phases of the portal, resource material like articles, policy documents, manuals, educational tools and modules will be made available.
