Kent ICT and SEGfL are pleased to announce, effective immediately, the purchase of a new schools' licence for access to the re-vamped British Pathé Archives. Powerful search routines make finding resources from within the 3,500 hours of films or 12 million stills a simple process.
New features include a useful, free workspace to assemble and annotate your own collections, whether at home or school. These can be shared and replayed anywhere, with a neat feature for sharing the url via email or embedding the link in a learning platform. Downloading selected films to a SEGfL connected terminal (Kent schools on the KCN broadband) is now rapid and, as previously, material may be edited and used in school for education purposes. Pupil-generated material using Pathé resources may now be retained in perpetuity.
Seventy-five years of digital history make this an appealing resource for any number of curriculum areas. Why not join the SEGfL SPOT debate at www.segfl.org.uk/spot to share your lesson ideas and find links to support materials and project examples?
