Could be a brilliant tool for the classroom if your school is too cheap to invest in e-whiteboards (do I sound bitter?).

A very useful list of online applications and tools available to teachers. Worth checking out.

A compelling analysis of how 'critical thinking' models are misused in the history classroom.

Most of us are aware of the power of social networking for teachers to improve their knowledge, gain ideas and make connections with other like-minded educators from around the world. I believe this power can also be harnessed to improve the engagement, enjoyable and knowledge base of history students. If you would like your students to join an online network of high school history students from around the world come to http://myhistorynetwork.ning.com and apply to join. Just please let me know where you work, what you teach and some background knowledge about you. Once you have been verified as a history teacher you will be granted teacher privileges and your students can start connecting with other students around the world.
There are protocols in place to ensure the safety of students and already students from Australia and Germany have joined up. The feedback so far has been fantastic, so I would encourage you to become involved. Looking forward to seeing you there! David.

Makes some compelling arguments about education, especially considering his conclusions are based upon real evidence, not dodgy research or theories.

This is the talk given at TED by Richard Baraniuk on Connexions, an open-source system for free educational content and his belief that this type of innovation will replace textbooks (YAY!). It's the first link on the list; I didn't save the link itself because it opens on a media player and that's really annoying. Click and enjoy! (PS If you've been living as a hostage on the moon for the last couple of years and haven't heard of TED give it a look/listen - it rocks).

This is a network for high school history students to share ideas and help each other with their history studies.

Several new members have already joined up for 2010 and early results are very promising. If you're a high school history teacher we'd love to have you and your students along!

A little self-indulgent, however I'm interested in seeing what other people do with their classes. This is the montage of our recent medieval tournament. We also do an archaeological dig and other historical re-enactments. If anyone else has footage, images or descriptions of activities or re-enactments they do with their classes I'd be really interested to see them. And steal their ideas.

A very good example of how Learning Management Systems such as Moodle can be used to enable teachers to create their own online 'textbooks'. How cool!
