Raelynn Buffington on 02 Oct 11First hand accounts, illustrated with vintage photos, original radio broadcasts. Ancient world through the 20th century accounts to include history in motion. All accounts are bookmarked and easily accessed. Citation information is located at the end of each article.

Michelle Phillips on 06 Oct 11This site is INCREDIBLE! The format is student-friendly and easy to navigate. There are numerous 1st-hand accounts of memorable moments in history, from a transcript of a dinner with Attila the Hun, to video of the Hindenburg explosion. Students can search through events from many countries, centuries, and eras, including the Civil War era and the Old West. Photos and radio broadcasts are also available. I especially enjoy the format of the homepage, which includes interesting tabs such as "Spotlight On" (i.e., Spotlight on History's Bad Guys) and "Notable Quotes."

Rachel Gordon on 07 Oct 11This site had a lot of great information and first hand accounts of events in history. Included various sources, photos, videos, radio broadcasts, maps and many more. The index was detailed and well organized, I liked how it highlighted topics that were interactive. The photo of the week was also a nice feature, this could be used to start a discussion with students on the photo and get their reactions to it.
