• Audio, video, animation and photo are the main types of media
  
• There's a number of genres covered such as comedy, history, education, drama, documentary, action and fiction
  
• It's a safe and moderated platform
• The upload process is clear
• The teachers' section is important as it contains video tutorials on how to upload material

How can it be used as an educational resource?

Potentially, this resource may be used in two ways:

1. For support material: students and teachers may use animations and videos to support various areas of the curriculum. See Remember me  and Poppy's Treasure for primary English.

2. A vechicle for showcasing material produced as part of class projects. This production of such material has many educational benefits. Students will learn the skills of film production or animation in addition to integrating it into and learning about a specific area of the curriculum.
