Tom Barrett has identified some useful video sites for class use; read what he has to say about them on his blog

Spelltube has videos for 3000 words and allows teachers to create spelling lists for their classes. It is aimed at KS2 and geared for the English curriculum but the ability to create personalised lists should make it useful here as well.

Simple Science has a collection of music videos related to science topics. The site says:

The idea of SIMPLE SCIENCE is to have informative music video
presentations for use in the primary school classroom.

They are designed to be used as part of a lesson to reinforce learning objectives and scientific concepts and also as a useful
revision tool for the SAT exams.

They work particularly well on a large whiteboard but can also be
viewed on the computer screen and TV.

Links to these videos could easily be included in your Glow Groups.

Learning Clip is a resource bank of interactive whiteboard resources for maths. It is currently free while in ‘development phase’.

All the Learning Clips run in a web browser (Internet Explorer 6 or higher) with no complicated set up and installation procedures. They all have the same easy to use format. Each clip comprises of, a short introductory video, an interactive activity, a worksheet and a set of notes

There are certainly plenty of activities to choose from.
