If you teach history, geography, science, social studies to any age group have a look at the vast collection of movies and stills at http://www.britishpathe.com. Schools in the UK connected by one of the Regional Broadband Consrtia (RBC) get to download and use in school for free!

A preview for educators from British Pathe can be found here http://www.britishpathe.com/education/ and more details including conditions of use can be found on the pages of the South East Grid for Learning here. http://www.segfl.org.uk/projects/show/British_Pathe_News/

They say: "The NEN has negotiated a new three-year Schools Licence (2009-2012) with the new owners of the archive and schools in subscribing RBC, LA or national networks in the UK can now download, without charge, the high-definition film and still files using a much faster interface with automatic authentication over the NEN."

This really is a fantastic resource covering most of the last century and sparks discussion about events, social change and national viewpoint.
