60 Second Histories

Carol Stobbs, Head of EBACC: I love the format, the online classrooms where I can set specific videos for classes. The support from Julie and Kevin and the resources give it the extra dimension. They are always happy to help.
Nigel Siddall, Director of Humanities: A brilliant service - both informative and dramatic. An excellent complement to any history teaching
Lyndon McErlaine, Head of History: I find the range of characters to be vast, and I can always find an example for what I am teaching about. My students respond well to Kevin’s style of delivery. It provides a genuine spark.

Irene Igogo, Year 4 Class Teacher: the website is very useful during planning, especially for topics subjects and science but when I attended the training with my students I just realised that the website has more information that can help me and my students. I was very impressed with the content coverage of geography there are lot of useful information to explore. I teach volcanic eruption in Year 4 and during the training I, was able to see useful information which I did not use during my teaching.
Patrick Kariuki, Computing teacher: Best resource for safe exploration
June Yeeles, School Librarian: Image quantity could be improved
