Hi Catherine I am really enjoying the 60-Second Adventures in Thought ! I am a big fan of short, well thought out punchy video resources like this.

Here's the one on philosophy - 60 Second Adventures in Thought. Over 900,000 views.

Our surgery is now open... First quick question for you all: are there any really good examples of online learning resources (for 'informal learning' audiences) out there? In my blog, I cited Nature Detectives as a great example (http://www.naturedetectives.org.uk/); simple resources to be used by younger audiences (supervised by parents or teachers) - most of it is stuff that could supplement classroom activities, but most of it will also work well for families at home or when out exploring... I know that informal learning audiences will probably not go for content that is labelled as 'learning', so how do we ensure that good content is also appealing? Any thoughts or discussions on this would be more than welcome!
