Channel 4 Learning Clipbank is a cross-curricular digital video service for secondary schools, delivered by Espresso Education.
There are currently eight subjects covered by Clipbank: Science, History, Geography, French, German, Spanish, Design & Technology and Business. There are around 250 videoclips for each of these curriculum areas, and all subjects will be regularly updated. The intention is to add further subject areas in the future.
Look out too for 'News bites'. Updated weekly, this feature will bring curriculum related news stories into the classroom. The clips can be saved to other network areas by utilising the save feature.
Keep an eye on the Clipbank calendar and the 'Coming soon' section to find out when your subject is next due to be updated. You can also use the search function to see if topics that you are currently teaching are covered.
Check out the staffroom area for ideas of how to utilise the Clipbank resource in your lessons.
