I know it may seems like a wild card, but believe Wikipedia has a place in the education world. I think it is a great jumping off point for finding topics and small snip bits of information. Would I tell my students to completely rely on what Wikipedia says? No, but its a good starting place.

This site archives early American documents, including the Declaration, Constitution, the first annual almanac, and maps. The part I like the best is a section called "How to Read a 200 Year Document." It has all kinds of frequently asked questions, such as why "s" looks like "f" in old documents. These could be really helpful for not only teachers, but students who are not used to the 17th century language.

Worldpress is imporant because I believe that its healthy to look outside of our own news and see a different take on the world. Its an important resource that I think is under used when students are looking for good articles to write about.

This site provides a huge database to access art.  It can be searched by artist, specific topics, or curriculum based.  It also has many different lesson plans to accompany the art.

The Nebraska Partnership for American History Education provides a variety of primary source resources by theme, time period, photos (1850-1938), and bibliographic collections. This site is useful for Nebraska history, United States history, women's history, Native & African American histories. It would definitely be appropriate for intermediate elementary students through high school students and all educators (lesson plans can be found here).
