Box of Broadcasts

| 0 comments

As students of the University of Northampton you have access to a resource called Box of Broadcasts (BoB for short).

Click the link above to go to the opening page and then type ‘Northampton’ into the ‘where are you from?’ box. Choose University of Northampton (IDP) at this point.

You can then use your university username and password to enter the site. 

BoB is an on demand  TV and radio service for schools. You can both record programmes from the guide and search for programmes, as well as make clips so that you can use exactly the part you want in teaching, making resources and using in presentations. You can also collect and arrange items in folders of your own in an area called ‘MyBoB’. 

There are many items on TV and radio that can be of interest to use as students of education and professionals working in schools. You can of course search for media content that you might use in school or are interested in watching yourselves. 

Look up the playlist called ‘The Educators’. Here I have collected together some a radio series about key people working in education which you will find interesting to browse through.
