O2 Learn is a new site (still in beta) which is a growing video library of revision lessons, from teachers across the country. The site aims to give every 13-18 year old in the UK access to a huge choice of mini-lessons which can help them with revision or to catch up on some subjects that they can’t remember or might have missed.

By uploading your own videos, you could also win prizes for yourself and your school. Twice a month, the highest rated, most watched video, wins an award. The teacher wins £2000, and their school wins £2000.

Then, over the summer of 2011, a panel of education experts will choose eight finalists from the group of 18 two-week winners (from 1/11/10 to 31/7/11). These 8 finalists will then be eligible for winning a big prize of £50,000 for themselves and £100,000 for their school!

StudyMaths.co.uk is a relatively new site which offers support to teachers and students of GCSE Maths. It is split into three clear sections:

• Revise! – Presents a random GCSE Maths question and marks the answers that you provide.
• Question? – Offers the facility to ask a question about Maths which will be answered by email.
• Study Zone – Provides free revision materials for pupils, including worksheets, glossaries and question banks.

The site is created by a secondary maths teacher and it looks like a really useful resource. Check it out – www.studymaths.co.uk

I’ve had an email from the senior producer of the BBC’s Bitesize websites who wrote to say that the site has recently had a makeover. There is a new look for the KS2 area (for children aged 7 to 11)…

as well as the KS3 area (for students aged 11-14)…

The KS3 pages have lots of new activities (examples here, here and here) and there are also new videos on the KS2 pages. The Bitesize pages are a wonderful resource for schools, covering lots of different subject areas and topics in really interesting and interactive ways, so have a look to see what’s new.
