I'm not a teacher. It's inappropriate for me to suggest a teaching aid. For that reason I need advice on whether the Egopendium approach could bring an enjoyable twist to the subject. If it's rubbish, don't hesitate to tell me.

Again - am using this for low literacy students.  Have downloaded the audio and edited to just be this transcript.  Will use the transcript so students can read along to help reading comprehension

This one is at least recent - some good discussion and links after the article also.

This one has an audio file - I am using this to help low literacy students with reading comprehension.  Will get them to read the text while I play the audio.

Has some very good articles related mostly to US history.

There seems to be an increasing tendency to put uni courses online and publicly available. How awesome!

Gotta love these Sourcebooks. Wonder when they'll do an Australian one...?

This is a very interesting and unusual idea. Historians at Stanford have collected very specific and detailed information about historical events within short time frames and then produced graphic representations of these events that you can play over maps. It's very precise and perhaps too detailed for many high school level students to make sense of, however some of them helped show how historical phenomena occurred. Particularly chilling was the graphic showing slave purchases in the Rio slave market in the mid-C19th; you can see individual children being bought at specific times by specific people.

Could be useful for classroom or homework activities.
