American Pie... an awesome starter for lessons on 1950s/60s and pop culture!

I use http://www.techcrunc...-youtube-movie/ which downloads it very cleanly as an flv movie, so you will need an flv player.
When you have downloaded it to your desktop, change the name by adding '.flv' after the name.

See this thread and this thread for things other people do.

38 videos in there at the moment. Mainly ones created by Tony Fox, JDC or myself but also some others that I've found useful.

This worked for me. It took about 10 minutes to convert and then download.

Can't recommend the FLV converter highly enough.

I'm using this today -
Women, Know Your Place!
Pride and Prejudice - Lizzy rejecting Darcy

We're looking at the portrayal of women in Victorian society - they're going to (hopefully) tell me why what Lizzy says is so shocking!

Pity there's not a clip from "The Mayor of Casterbridge" to see how women in the other half lived ...

Finally got round to uploading two of my videos to you tube.
One I made as a summary of Russia between the death of Stalin to Gorbachev as a starter to studying Gorbachev. I've linked it here
I show a clip from threads where the nuclear bomb is dropped over Sheffield from screen online alongisde this to try and give an idea of how great the fear of nuclear war was before Gorbachev.

The second clip is something I made using the old BBC creative site. As students watch this they have to list as many reasons why the Roman army was successful as they can think of. I've linked that here

Hope these help :)

That's nothing - how about this portrayal of Florence Nightingale from "Big Train"?

Hi,

The web site is brilliant and I was all fired up to use at school but our IT guys will not allow me access. Is there any other way I can access these clips on the school history website without using you tube.

Thanks Sue
