Khan Academy (http://www.khanacademy.org/) is a gigantic library of YouTube lectures and practice activities on an incredibly broad range of mathematical, scientific, and some historical topics.
In this TED video, he talks about an idea that I like a lot: (http://www.ted.com/talks/salman_khan_let_s_use_video_to_reinvent_education.html). Ask students to view the lecture for homework (at home or in the school library). This allows class time to be more focused on guided and independent practice for the students while the teacher is there to help.
Even better, it seems that all of the videos are available for download, so if you're afraid that you won't be able to access YouTube in your classroom, download the video to a flash drive and bring it with you.
