Many teachers will have found TED which is an excellent site for videos on a wide variety of subjects. From TED we were led to Gapminder world which has loads of data for teaching Development Economics.

The data covers a large number of indicators for all countries some of which goes back to 1800. Various data can be graphed against each other and then animated to show how they have changed over time. It is difficult to describe but easy to use and well worth exploring. This video gives a good introduction to how you can use the data sets.
