Steve Pinker Lecture
Steve Pinker - professor at Harvard - gives an interesting talk about the way language reflects human nature. He explores metaphor, taboo words and the language of bribes and answers interesting questions such as why we fill in a form by filling it out.
University of Edinburgh
The lecture is also available via iTunes.

Game Classroom
Virtual Museum of Iraq
I've had a quick play with the virtual museum of Iraq site - It's visually attractive and interactive and could be used in the classroom.
Wander round the halls, read descriptions of key exhibits and look at short video clips. Students would need quite a high level to get something from the site. You could ask students to explore a different period and then report back or you could set up your own treasure trail.
