National Archives - 1 views

  •  
    The National Archives site allows users to find primary sources within the seven categories found under "Research by Topic". Students and teachers would use this site mostly for social studies, history, and science. I was able to find mostly photos, but some other documents as well. This could be used for any age group, but I think most of the content would be for middle or high school students.

University Libraries Wright State University - 1 views

  •  
    At this website, users will find photos, diary entries, patents, and other artifacts documenting the inventions of the Wright brothers. I think that this site could be used by students in grades 4-12. Science and history teachers would find this site most useful. I thought that it was a little easier for younger users to navigate than some of the other sites I have found.

US History, American History - 0 views

    shmoop claims to "speak student."  I think this is a great site for kids who are trying to understand their topic of choice.  There are some primary source links embedded within the text of each subject.  The high interest topics of study makes this site usable for students doing research.

Awesome Stories - 0 views

  •  
    This site looks to be a great gathering place where one can locate primary source information. In addition, it has links to audio, video, documents and lesson plans. "AwesomeStories is about primary sources. The stories existas a way to place original materials in context and to hold those links together in an interesting, cohesive way (thereby encouraging people to look at them). It is a totally different kind of web site in that its purpose is to place primary sources at the forefront - not the opinions of a writer. Its objective is to take the site's users to places where those primary sources are located." http://www.awesomestories.com/

  •  
    This site is maintained by George Washington University. It documents the life and career of Eleanor Roosevelt through written and audio works. The site also provides lesson and materials for classroom use. This would be an excellent resource for women studies, human rights, and the era of the Roosevelt administration.

  •  
    This site would be great for teaching middle to high school age students about primary sources. The homepage gives a great definition of what primary sources can be. The site has primary source for the Cold War, WWII, the Iraq War (2003), the Civil War, presidential papers, and Native Americans.

    This is a website created by the U.S. Energy Information Administration to educate kids on anything and everything having to do with energy and electricity. It would be a great resource for the sixth grade energy unit. It has a teacher section with activities for classrooms as well.

Eyewitness to History: Voices of the 20th Century - 1 views

  •  
    This site provides recordings from important figures in American history. Most are from 1899-1945, and deal mainly with World War II. This would be a wonderful resource for anyone studying this era of history, especially for auditory learners. Other parts of the site share written primary source documents and photographs as well.

    The Library of Congress website is an outstanding resource for anyone looking for any kind of imformation. Its outstanding in giving you numerous engines to use without having to leave the comfort of your home or classroom. It's important for all educators to be aware of the amount of useful primary sources and information that can befound throughout the website.

Archiving Early America - 1 views

  •  
    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.org - World News From World Newspapers - 1 views

  •  
    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.

    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.
