Due to the following problems

• IT departments blocking YouTube
• Problems uploading files to TeacherTube
• Schools not having access to internet facilities in the classroom

I will be supplying a single DVD with the five video files.  Schools who have already received their kit will have the DVD sent to them (sorry about the delay that may be caused by the postal strike).  Schools who have yet to receive their kits will find a DVD in each classroom kit.

Perhaps I was a bit over-optimistic in trying to move towards complete delivery of all materials by the internet.  Maybe in a couple of years.
