Materials for SS teacher

Contains many interesting perspectives and resources for history and social studies teachers. I use Bloglines to subscribe to blogs like this and keep them all in one place. Google Reader is also popular, I think. If you subscribe to good quality blogs like this then all you have to remember is the address of your blog reader and you can come across many interesting viewpoints from people who are actually in the classroom - not ideologically-driven careerists who publish through official documents from their ivory towers and have long since left the classroom! Long live educational democracy! Viva la revolution!
