www.apcentral.collegeboard.com
The College Board does a good job of organizing their courses, and providing information regarding how to organize classes for teachers, and how to prepare for courses and exams for students.

The NC Standard Course of Study is important for all teachers in North Carolina, but it is also a great way of organizing and breaking down courses.
www.wikipedia.org
I may generate some disagreement here, but I love Wikipedia. I'm not saying it is an academic source, but in 99% of cases, it's a great resource for people who are looking to get a general overview or basic information on a topic. I use it frequently, even in class, when students have questions that I can't answer on the spot.
www.archives.gov
The National Archives are a great resource for teachers, particularly history teachers.
www.socialstudies.org
The National Council for the Social Studies site, which advocates for the subject and profession, also has great resources for teachers.

Honestly, this was difficult…if I don't like the website then I don't go back to it. Makes it hard to remember which ones I don't like!

Could be a good resource, except that it's not.

This would be good if it was used in addition to having a real discussion, lesson plan, or reading the actual material, unfortunately this usually takes the place of it.

Got lost on this.

A bunch of random things that might be helpful here or there, but too disorganized for me or not enough depth when you can find what you are looking for.

Should be sued for false advertising.
Thank you for the introduction to the National Archives. Great resource.
