Have you visited the BBC Learning Zone lately? It really does contain some very useful resources in a range of subjects. ’Learning Zone Broadband is a rich source of audio-visual sequences selected to work with the curriculum.’
Resources are divided into Primary, Secondary and Colleges. Once you have selected your zone you can then search by a range of subjects or even by specific key words. The available short clips are accompanied by a brief description and possible suggestion for use in the classroom. Pause for discussion, annotate them using your interactive whiteboard software or try muting the sound for playback with the children adding key facts where appropriate.New clips are being added regularly.
