For those of you not familiar, O2 Learn is a free, moderated video lesson sharing website that celebrates the UK's best teaching. It has over 3,000 curriculum focused video lessons for UK students aged 13-18 years old. All the video lessons are moderated by our Learning champions (expert teachers) to check for any inaccuracies. Each week O2 Learn awards £2000 to the best lesson, split between the teacher and their school department. This also qualifies them for the O2 Learn Annual Teaching Excellence Awards will be presented in December with £45,000 prize money for the winning lesson.
