Resources for learning relativity

[Lil ze]

We just started talking about it at school, and naturally i have no idea what the teachers talking about!

I was wondering if there are any good websites/videos online that explain it? Id be asking for a bit too much for a direct explantion from the physics buffs here :D

cheeeers.

The least technical site I know of about relativity which still might be useful:

http://www.onestick.com/relativity/ "Winner of the Pirelli relativity challenge"

If you have the background the other sites mentioned are good, but since you are having trouble understanding your teacher I suspect you may not have the background to understand them, either :-(. (I don't know for sure, of course, since I don't have any real idea of what your background is).
