Used ERA Video Streaming Platform weekly for 1-2 years

What a fantastic service and the selection of clips for my subject areas are vast. I also requested a documentary be added recently as always worry it will disappear from the I Player, and it was added extremely quickly. I now always make a note of any programmes or documentaries that I feel might be useful to my teaching and know that I can request these to be added here. This is such a wealth of resources and really makes planning lessons and delivering varied content to students so much easier. I would recommend ERA to any teaching staff (and do!)
Hannah Bird found ERA Video Streaming Platform:
- Builds student knowledge“Excellent resources and clips to help consolidate and further student knowledge outside of the classroom, for example documentaries on Pilgrimage and short clips from Religious series”
- Improves teaching efficiency“Useful to add context and differentiated learning - avoids over reliance on teacher talk”
- Improves teacher knowledge“I often seek out videos or documentaries to watch first to further my own knowledge and then embed this into my teaching”
- Saves school money“Free resource!!”
- Increases student collaboration“Students love clips and documentaries and I also usually include questions based on them to ensure focus and collaboration”
