New resources from BBC Scotland Learning reflect a keen eye on the changing curriculum. Features include a relaunch of the Bitesize revision site, a huge archive of video-clips for schools, selected by teachers, and a set of TV, radio and online studies that follow the lives of eight people in China - suitable for upper primary or across subjects and age ranges. A portal launches in November on the history of Scotland. It will have interactive maps, timelines, a TV series, video-clips, articles, and an online forum “to debate Scotland’s turbulent history”.
