We are dependent upon advertising income to ensure the sustainability of the service and hope that you are able to support us in this way. If we can help you to promote your company in any other way, then please do not hesitate contact us.

Payment Policy

None of the ictopus core team are paid for their work. Our only payments are to contributors to Sharing Good Practice magazine.

For articles written by teachers and others that describe good practice in the use of ICT in primary education we pay £25 for short pieces (a single page - 500 words approx.) or £50 for longer articles. We do not pay for contributions where the writers have an interest in promoting their own resources or for any articles written by the core ictopus team.
