The BBC class clips site has received a major design upgrade, in line with the new corporate web identity. As one of the teacher consultants, I’m really pleased to see the outcome of this project. It’s a fantastic classroom resource.

BBC Class Clips

The site offers a large number of free short video clips sourced from BBC Education programmes. It covers every National Curriculum subject, and the clips are searchable through keywords or topics. Each video comes with some suggestions for classroom use. Although the clips are not downloadable, they are provided in a number of different formats including high and low band width options. New material will be added periodically.

60 second film making and BBC News Report

Here’s my entry for the One World Film competition organized by the ring leader of the particpatory geography movement in UK secondary schools Dan Raven-Ellison. Not a great production by any means, but I loved the concept of 60 second films to explain a point, and would really like to to get more of my students making short films for their own (and the wider community’s) benefit. Although I made the film several months ago, I can finally show it in a lesson since Year 11 are about to embark on a coasts topic.

Some Year 10 students showed some short films they’d made about Dubai today. I was really pleased to see how far their editing skills have progressed since Year 9. I noticed that some of the students had discovered BBC Motion Gallery independently, though no-one had actually done any original filming. How I would love a few Flip DV cameras for my classroom!

David Rayner has recently explained on the SLN site that the BBC News School Report represents a great opportunity for KS3 Geography students to develop their investigative and reporting skills. What better motivation to get students into short film making?
