Technology a key tool in writing instruction

If I could only pack three tools in my eToolbox… [this is like the game "If you were stranded on a deserted island and could only bring three things," except there is no island. Bear with me.]… I would choose Twitter, Evernote and Dropbox.

Not strictly history-related however has many tools that might be useful for history teachers. 

Welcome to the Web site for A Student's Online Guide to History Reference Sources. Adapted from the appendixes in A Student's Guide to History, Eleventh Edition, this site guides you to some of the best tools available for the most common research areas.

This site accompanies a book I bought recently and would highly recommend as a useful guide for high school history students. It contains research and writing style guides and heaps of online resources (which I'm going to add to the group anyway). It's written for introductory undergraduate students yet would be useful for senior high school history students and is written and organised clearly and effectively.

Create a "room", chat online in real time. Simple and clean design. Great for class room use.

A site which students can use to... actually I don't get it. If it works though it looks very cool. It's something the kids can use as little mini-historians and then publish the product to the web. It's focussed on US history (well they are the 'hyperpower', aren't they?).

This is a group on Ning for like-minded educators. For those of you unfamiliar with Ning, I'd recommend a look. It has some great tools for developing networks with other educators.
