Top 5 Australian video resources for teachers

Online video resources are great tools for you to use with your students. Free and convenient to access, they are an easy and effective way for you to integrate technology into a modern classroom. Varying the way information is delivered and combining traditional methods with more creative lessons helps keep students interested in their education. Videos are a great way to engage and entertain students while encouraging them to learn.
