  • the new Brazil saw a former shoeshine boy and factory worker – Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva – win the presidency in 2002. Now his hand-picked successor, Dilma Rousseff, herself a former political prisoner, is president.

    Their dual policy of generating rapid economic growth and providing generous social programs helped lift 30 million people into the middle class.

    Cool online simulations, though I see them more as "Choose your own adventure" types...still I think students will like them! Even come with short answer questions and quizzes!!!

    Cool resource for "choose your own adventure" type simulations online where students can read about history, but feel like they are navigating through it! Comes with short answer and quiz questions to check comprehension

    A class website run by Dan Ewert in the States. It's not maintained anymore but is still a good example of what can be done even with something as simple as WordPress. Very cool.

    Has articles and some source material links related to World History. The site (run out of University of Illinois, by the looks) has a strong focus on 'big history.' I hadn't encountered this term before; it seems to mean looking at history not through civilisations but rather periods or regions. If that description is wrong and someone could provide more accuracy on 'big history' that would be cool.

    The journal focuses on the New World History (looking at the world at a global scale across time) as opposed to the one civilization at a time approach. See the World History AP course description for an example of what this means:

    David, as an Australian you are at Ground Zero of Big History since its leader is an Australian = David Christian.
    Christian's _Maps of Time: An Introduction to Big History_ is the one book to read on the subject.
    This article well covers it: http://www.historycooperative.org/journals/whc/3.1/christian.html

    Google David Christian, Big History for more

    Again, the journal is not specifically focused on Big History but on the New World History, but it did have one issue on Big History as its forum: http://worldhistoryconnected.press.illinois.edu/6.3/

    More links than you probably want here about Big History:
    http://worldhistoryconnected.press.illinois.edu/6.3/maunu2.html

    This month's forum is on Latin America.
    Other forums range the gamut of world history.
