Crash Course Videos RULE!!!

So far this video series is entirely accurate, engaging and entertaining. Although I am personally fond of the World History series there are series focusing on: Biology, US History, Ecology and Literature.

Lesson Videos

Education Portal has three different free educational courses in history as well as other subjects. Videos are cute and usually relatively short, around 10 min. Most dialog is easily at a middle or upper elementary level, especially with pauses and explanations. Courses and Videos

East to West Documentary Series

Episode 4 – The Muslim Renaissance

In this film we will reveal how a golden age of invention and scholarship thrived in the Islamic World at a time when Europe lingered in a dark age; how Muslim scholars brought together for the first time the ideas of the Greeks and Romans with Persian and Indian mathematics and astronomy and developed it into the beginnings of modern Science. We will reveal the first contacts by which European scholars discovered this treasury of knowledge and how it was developed by generations of Arab-admirers (including Galileo & Copernicus) into modern science.


This episode focuses on the House of Wisdom in Baghdad, the great university mosques of Cairo and uncovers ancient documents translated in Baghdad by Islamic scholars, now in the Bodleian Library, Oxford.
