Used 60 Second Histories for 9 months

Apr 2020

It's just a really great, easy to use site. My son loves the clips and quizzes and it helps save me time planning our topics.

Eddie Jenkins found 60 Second Histories:
  • Significantly builds student knowledge
    My son loves the simple format and because every film clip is packed with key information it really focuses his attention. The keywords and 60-second summary are a great feature of each film, and the quizzes enable him to test himself. So far we've completed the Egyptians and Ancient Greece topics and although the support notes are designed particularly for teachers, I have found them useful.
  • Moderately improves teaching efficiency and productivity
    It's really saved me time having all these films in one place without having to trawl through YouTube. I know that they're safe, reliable and linked to the curriculum. The support notes have saved me time too, as they give ideas on how I can include them in our lessons. There's a virtual classroom feature as well, which means that I can select a couple of films on the topic we're doing and my son can log and watch them whenever he wants.
  • Slightly saves school money
    The subscription isn't expensive and really good value for money considering the time and effort it saves. We'll definitely be signing up for another year.
