library of 284 high quality, digital television clips
which bring to life 14 key topics in twentieth century
world history for ages 11 and up.

ClipBank history is indexed by topic, decade and by
the QCA's Schemes of Work. To get started, select one of
these options from the left-hand menu to browse through
the clips.
You have access to the clips in two different
formats: high quality, MPEG clips, ideal for use on a
big screen or an interactive whiteboard, and Real Player
clips for multiple, simultaneous use by a number of
users. Each clip is accompanied by a description of its
content, its learning context, links to other relevant
clips, and a glossary of key words.
Further functionality which is available as a
download(s) via the Internet includes:
1. Free
text searching
2. The ability to bookmark video
clip selections ("playlists") allowing you to navigate
the same path of clips in future lessons
3. A
function which will allow you to screen grab from any
clip(s) for use in other applications
4. An easy way
to embed video clip(s) in your school's
presentations.
ClipBank history complements Channel 4 Learning's
five history CD-ROMs, covering: World War 1 and the Rise
of Nazi Germany, and Europe 1919-39; World War 2; The
Cold War, 1945-69; USA 1919-80; The Vietnam War. These

students' notes, monitored links to useful websites,
online lesson plans and differentiated interactive
activities.
