Resources that parents and teachers can use to equip children with the skills needed to search wisely, recognize unreliable material and stay safe while surfing the Web.

The Internet has many sites with information and help for homework assignments. But how do you know if the information a site contains is reliable? The Students' Guide to Web Search helps you learn how to tell a good site from a garbage site, and shows you how to start searching smart.

"This teaching resource includes digitized selections from the Cameron Family Papers extracted from the Southern Historical Collection at UNC-Chapel Hill. The resource is designed for non-commercial use by educators and students interested in themes associated with antebellum plantation life. The original Cameron Family Papers (1757-1978) include some 35,000 undigitized items available for public perusal in the university's Wilson Library. This web resource presents only a small fraction of the total available documents, as identified and digitized by the site designers to best represent themes associated with traditionally underrepresented persons on antebellum plantations, namely slaves, women, and children. The Camerons regularly communicated by post with their family, friends, and business associates (overseers, tradespersons, and merchants). The level of detail provided in their personal communication provides a rich context for the study of antebellum plantation life in the southern United States. Site users may either search for letters related to a particular theme, or browse available letters using the index of letters page. All letters have been tagged by subject/theme. Letters are available in Macromedia Flashpaper format (.swf). Users may choose to view the original source letter, a typed transcription of the original text (easier to read), or both. The transcription is recommended to teachers and students with limited time, given the difficulty in deciphering original text. "

Best.Thing.EVER. My kids go NUTS over this (AP and honors students)! Create your own or search the public Kahoots....

This is a wonderful resource - the best on-line zine (oops, I mean e-journal) for world history teachers. Depending on how the editorial board feels, I might have an article published in the next WHC. I found this issue http://worldhistoryconnected.press.illinois.edu/6.2/index.html especially valuable. And the recent articles of James Diskant have been helpful too. Oh, and, of course, this journal is affiliated with the World History Association which every world history teacher should be a part of: http://www.thewha.org/ Best,

I can't figure out if the content on this site is created for the site or if it has a search ability and retrieves content from all around the web. Contains many articles on early modern and modern American history.

I'm not sure if this site has digitised medieval manuscripts there or if it functions as a search engine for the rest of the web, but either way it's a good place to find medieval primary sources.

It's not a historical source but might be useful when teaching source evaluation to students. Or Sisyphusicly trying to, as is often the case for me.
