Sociology Central Channel |
This YouTube-hosted Channel - run by yours' truly on a miniscule budget - offers a mix of online videos. These range from video promos / clips (from our DVDs such as Short Cuts Vol 1: Crime and Deviance and the Crime Channel) to a range of made-for-Youtube specials on areas like the Mass Media. Worth checking out if you're on a tight budget or you want to have a look at some preview materials before deciding whether to take the plunge and splash-out the hard-earned... |

Sociological Cinema |
This American site is designed "to help sociology instructors incorporate videos into their classes" and to this laudable end the site selects suitable videos and suggests ways they can be used in the classroom. The level is basically undergraduate (which is reflected in both the choice of video material and its suggested uses) but this doesn't mean A-level teachers can't use some of the resources for A2 teaching. | |
| Online Classroom |
Finding good video material, directly focused on the A-level Sociology
syllabus, can be difficult, but Online Classroom videos have been designed to
provide just this. Each video contains a mix of styles (Talking Heads,
student group discussions, audio-visual material and so forth) and there's
an extensive range from which to choose - from the "Classic" (interviews with
leading sociologists) to the "Key" (materials that focus on key sociological
issues and ideas). All of their videos have extensive online preview material
available. If you're interested, the site also has a wide range of Psychology DVDs to buy and cherish. |
