Guidance and help for teachers of RPSE, in using Twitter to build a personal teaching and learning network:

Take a trip through our collective past with the BBC archives and discover themed collections of radio and TV programmes, documents and photographs.

Explore who we are and see how attitudes have changed over the years through selections from an archive which began over 70 years ago.

You can also go behind the scenes to find out how the BBC archives are maintained, uncover forgotten stories from the Written Archives and see how broadcasting has changed through the decades.

This free resource could be used in a number of curriculum areas for building family trees or history time-lines. For example Art and Design students could build a family tree for an artist which they may be studying, History students could build a family tree about an icon from the past to help explain origin and historic links.

This resource could also be used as a research tool too. There are many family trees available of many famous people to browse and explore. Below is an example of a family tree for Al Gore:

Geni enables families to connect, share, and preserve their lives.

Users can build their family tree through our fun simple interface. Relatives who are added to the tree can join Geni and add other relatives. This makes it easy to grow your tree.

Everyone in the tree has a profile which shows more about them and enables other family members to stay in touch with them. Families can work together to build profiles for common ancestors.

Family members can also share photos, videos, events, discussions, and more. A family timeline shows the history of everyone in the family.

Geni is private. Only the people in your family tree can log in to your tree and your profile. Geni will not share your personal information with third parties. We will not sell your email address or spam you.
