Discovery Education

This link takes teachers to a discovery channel based website that has a load of cool stuff. Its got video segments, full films, lesson plans, games, worksheets, etc.. It's chalked full of useful educational accessories. The information can be filtered to certain grades, different content, so-on. It's not just limited to one subject area either. I've used this in the classroom I'm in for about two years now. Mostly for videos to help demonstrate what it is I'm showing the students.

The one problem I've found with it is you need a passcode to create an account. You can get this if your school has signed up for the site. As far as I know it is a free sight to use once you get the passcode. So if you work in a school now, ask around and see if you can access this site. It really does have some great content.
