The TimeMap aims to provide a visual guide to each civilization and nation in history, be an authoritive resource for historical enquiry, and provide an accessible way of looking at the 'bigger picture' of the world's past. Maps are the ideal starting point for historical enquiry. Without understanding the location of a civilization or state, within the axis of time and space, there can be no historical understanding of an episode. To study Ancient Egypt in isolation, not knowing whether it comes before or after the Ancient Greeks or the Ancient Romans, is on a par with studying myths and legends. What students need - what all citizens of today's world need, if they are to understand its past - is an overview, a chronological framework, in which detailed knowledge can be slotted. The TimeMaps History project seeks to provide both the overview and the detail, so that the latter is served up within its full context. TimeMaps materials are designed to be accessible for anyone interested in history; they also support teachers of history and their students. We take great care to ensure that our work is of the highest quality, based on sound academic research. We seek to communicate history in such a way that we can be as useful to a historian looking for a background on a topic, as for a student searching for a particular, specific piece of information.

OpenStudy is a social learning network where students ask questions, give help, and connect with other students studying the same things. Our mission is to make the world one large study group, regardless of school, location, or background.

A MUST SEE resource for teachers! Check this site out for great sample projects and videos. In Project Based Learning (PBL), students go through an extended process of inquiry in response to a complex question, problem, or challenge. Rigorous projects help students learn key academic content and practice 21st Century Skills (such as collaboration, communication & critical thinking).

The purpose of this course is to provide "Just in Time" training through an online interface for K-12 educators based on the National Educational Technology Standards for Teachers (NETS-T). These standards are the basic technology skills every educator should possess. In the process, educators will develop their own skills and discover what students need in order to meet the NETS for Students, as well as the new MMC Online Experience requirement. Participants who fulfill all of the requirements have the opportunity to earn SBCEU's. To learn more about the session, look under the tab "The 21 Things". We hope you take advantage of this unique opportunity.
