CAN'T FIND THAT RESOURCE???

Then try TAPE SERVICES ONLINE
Tape Services is a unique operation which produces, under Part VA of the Copyright Act, off air VHS master copies of all educationally relevant programs broadcast in Adelaide. The service maintains a collection of approximately 20,000 educational programs which provides an outstanding curriculum resource for use in teaching and learning programs for all educational institutions.
You need to know what you want as it is difficult to browse the catalogue, but it has a good search function to help you access what you need. Costs are very reasonable and you need to order with a school (or University) order form.

Any other resources like this? PLEASE share:)

DO SCHOOLS KILL CREATIVITY?

Interesting video regarding the way students are taught. All I can say is that I am glad I teach what I do and I only hope that "the world" begins to value us all a little more. One man's persuasive view!
