UK economic history via YouTube
Recommend on Google+
Here is an idea for a teaching resource - a listing of key landmark UK economic history events via YouTube. An initial grouping is posted below - but can we crowd-source some more to make this a terrific teaching resource for many other colleagues. If you are on Twitter please post a You Tube link using the hash-tag #ecbusteach and we can then add it to Mo’s blog posting below. Enjoy!
