    Colonial Williamsburg online is a great resource for information on life in the 18th century, ranging from people, place, trades, etc. They have a feature where you can tour the town of Colonial Williamsburg in 3D and experience audio, video, photography, and other features of the town. The Colonial Williamsburg site also has biographies, essays, articles, and other primary resources from Americans on their day-to-day living in the 18th century.

    This website offers a variety of primary source material from 18th Century America. Scenes and portraits from original newspapers, magazines, maps and writings are just as they appeared more than 250 years ago. Also a scrolling of "what happened on this day in early America" for upper elementary to 12th grade.

    Students could research many topics about American history using this site. There are examples of newspapers, maps, and almanacs from the 18th century. There are songs that students can listen to from the different time periods in our history. There are also images from the past that students can even use for free. There are instructions on how to access these images and how to give credit to this source.

    This site has lots of primary sources including pictures, maps, etc. that pertain to early America. This site would be great for teaching history.

    This site is organized in a student-friendly format. The text is large, descriptions are concise, and the toolbar on the left side of the page helps students navigate easily. I love the inclusion of "Freedom Documents" as well as "Rare Images." The "Join or Die" propaganda from the "Rare Images" tab is also featured in our social studies text (students can make a text-to-media connection). "Pages from the Past" gives students a glimpse into colonial-era printing and publication. What an authentic experience!
