"The following tutorials, developed by a history and social science teacher educator, an educational psychologist/technologist, and an academic historian, are designed to build a practical understanding of: (1) the nature and purpose of historical inquiry, (2) the processes and strategies involved in analyzing historical sources and using them as evidence in order to develop historical interpretations, and (3) the processes and strategies involved in reconciling various accounts of the past as part of the process of doing history. Our hope is that these tutorials serve as scaffolds or points of entry to initially support teachers' efforts to facilitate the doing of history within the classroom. "

Events tie to all subject areas including art, music, literature, wars, inventions, medicine, etc. The interface allows you to view between decades to millions of years. You can choose to watch a variety of events which have happened in a particular period or to target a specific event in time. For example you can look at the past century within categories such as riots or inventions. Most have links to video, related events and articles.
