What an amazing service! This website is a blessing for teachers, I can look for a title and they are almost always there, however if they aren't you can request a title. I requested a title at the start of my teaching day and I was able to access it on their site by lesson 2, this is amazing service and really helps with planning lessons ( especially last minute plans!) I have shared the site with my colleagues and I will continue to do that - Thank you.

ERA is one of the most valuable resources I have come across - having access to such a vast library of video clips, films and documentaries is of real benefit when planning and delivering lessons. The ability to request specific clips and documentaries has been a gamechanger - no more using grainy old videos that were recorded years ago!

An incredible service! I have been able to find so many video clips that I've struggled to find elsewhere. This service has really supported teaching and learning within my A level Psychology class. I am particularly grateful for the 'request a clip' service. I requested a video that I have tried to source for some time on a Sunday afternoon and by Monday lunchtime they had sourced it and it had been uploaded. Such a valuable service for all teachers.

What an absolutely brilliant, brilliant service. Literally a dream come true! The number of times over the years videos have come and gone and I've had no way of addressing this loss. I'd always hope there was some service that could help with this issue (as a teacher) and thank God this website exists!
