 The
revolution of the last year or so on-line has 'video on demand' the
opportunity to add video casts of everyday life has been a mad explosion
of stuff. This is an example of Web 2.0 technologies ones that are user
driven (pull) rather than provider driver (push). Below are just just
interesting clips that might be useful for RE teachers - but you need
to explore for yourself. For more ideas you need to come on a course. |

A
very Christian site but worth an explore for videos of interest.
A
collection of vox-pops on many subjects of interest to the RE teacher
The
Learning Zone provides rich audio-visual material for use in primary
and secondary schools and colleges
This
is a developing project from BBC Cymry (Wales) worth keeping an
eye one.
My
Space has a lot of user content loaded up - worth a rummage under
specific words
A
collection of video and TV materials not always easy to find stuff
but some useful materials if you dig.
Looks
across a number of channels for support materials use RE search
terms.
This
is a novel take on the Good Samaritan. The tale is told through
the eyes of private investigator Aachan Solvitz (pronounced I can
solve it!) as he investigate the tale of the missing body. Who was
the victim? Who was the mysterious 'kind stranger'? Who walked by
on the other side?
This
is a more controversial video clip which uses the technique of the
infomercial to 'sell' buddhism. Whilst there is a high degree of
irony and satire the clip gives an interesting approach to how you
might present a religion in 3 mins. How would you 'sell' a religious
or a philosophical idea in an infomercial?
This
is a parody of "Baby got Back" and is a piece of evange-lism
from Dan Smith who is a storyteller-preacher. He strives to model
the teaching style of Jesus, who was a master storyteller. This
clip talks about the Bible and why he believes this is such an important
book.
This
is a short introduction to the Pancha Devata Puja. It is a preview
of the Puja Learning tools and an explanation of why Puja is important
and how it links into understanding in Hinduism.
This
is another parody written by a practicing Jew in which he sings
about Hannukah. Whilst this might again be quite challenging this
does raise some interesting viewpoints including "If Jews are
the chosen people, what makes us the exception?"
Zakat,
the fourth pillar of Islam. An explanation of this part of the Islamic
faith. A simply audio description which covers the rules of Zakat.
Visually uninteresting but well explained.
On
the deck of the Santa Cruz in the Galapagos Islands, Richard Dawkins
takes a minute to talk about Darwin and his historic visit to the
Galapagos Islands.
A
few things that atheism could have prevented. A personal viewpoint
about the 'deaths that have been caused in the name of religion'
This is an interesting starting point on the nature of religious
belief into action.
A
personal viewpoint with an interview with a Catholic feminist on
questions about the place of women in the Catholic church. This
is one of many clips that can be found on You Tube that are personal
viewpoints - this nature of authentic voice is a valuable part of
You tube.
Why
do atheists care about religion? This is one response to this question
looking at how religion in the USA is affected by the beliefs of
Christians and his viewpoint on why the lives of all are affected
by the historic nature of Christianity. How would you respond to
this? 
The
atheist's nightmare the banana: A tongue in cheek look at the idea
of the world being adapted for humanity. This is a simplistic but
introduction to the anthropic principle.
An
amusing parody for those feeling a bit frightened of the new technologies.
