Site of the month
Every month on I Can Teach we highlight one website which we believe stands out amongst the others. We think they provide an excellent service and think it is worth having a closer look. If you missed any of them then we have an archive of the last twelve months.

This month it is Twig Science Films


Twig Science Films provide high quality short films to support learning in the classroom. They also provide a variety of support materials both for students and teachers. The site also matches films to exam board topics. There is a wealth of information in each film, sourced from some of the best known archives in the world. Teachers and academics have worked with the production team to make sure the content is right up to date. Subscription rates are very reasonable. Take a look and set up a free trial.....
