Khan Academy shares thousands of videos for your students.

Khan Academy  now have on the order of 2,200 videos covering everything from basic arithmetic all the way to vector calculus . They have a million students a month using the site, watching on the order of 100 to 200,000 videos a day.
 These resources can be very effective as revision or reinforcement tasks, a backup for students who miss a lesson or for students who need further input to fully understand certain concepts.

There is plenty of feedback for teachers and parents to view. These resources should be used as part  of a balanced course.

Another great video site useful for educators.

What is WatchKnow?






Imagine hundreds of thousands of great short videos, and other media, explaining every topic taught to school kids. Imagine them rated and sorted into a giant Directory, making them simple to find. WatchKnow--as in, "You watch, you know"--is a non-profit online community devoted to this goal.
