I am just starting a blog as part of a reflective practice. I also want to use it to connect with people who are interested in education and interested in smart inclusion of technology into the classroom. It's brand new, but I have a post on there with examples of what we're doing at Hunterdon Central Regional High School in Flemington, NJ.

This is a blog by Keith Dennison, a history teacher in New Jersey. Might be useful for teaching ideas or collaboration.

About 100 photos of action and its results from the Pacific theater and adjacent areas during WWII. Some of the shots are in color and some are very graphic.

An interesting blog from Canada seeking to collect a, um, collection (it's the first day of the holidays and my frontal lobe still has not recovered from the marking season. Sorry...) of articles by historians which are relevant to the broader community. His argument that history has become too specialised and irrelevant is compelling. It gels with much of what I experienced at university, anyway. As I've said before, I use a blog reader (e.g. Google Reader, Bloglines) to collect these types of sites into one place. I get many of the sites I post to the group that way.

Great blog focussed on technology and history education. Just the kind of thing we like!

Lying for learning blog

I am a liar blog

An excellent news-style history page. Seems to aggregate blog posts from the most prominent history bloggers. 

This downloadable SlideShare accompanies my workshop in "Teaching with Documents." Don't think of it as a presentation. It's a online guide to resources and includes strategy illustrations from my workshop.

Reproduzo abaixo texto do Blog os amigos do presidente Lula com a denúncia de que a Globo acobertou os militares terroristas que tentaram explodir uma bomba no show do Riocentro em 1981. O objetivo era culpar a Esquerda Armada (já extinta) e evitar o fim da ditadura militar e a redemocratização do Brasil. Mais detalhes sobre o atentado você pode ver nesse post: [Entenda o que foi o atentado do Riocentro]. Em seu discurso na ABL o jornalista Merval Pereira provou mais uma vez que a burrice é imortal e acabou confessando que a Globo esperou o crime prescrever para somente depois dizer os nomes dos envolvidos no atentado.

110 photographs, many of them rare, documenting the attack on Pearl Harbor and many of the major Pacific theater campaigns of WWII.

History Teachers

Amazing collections of historic photographs

I"m a fan of Amanpour's anyway, but her show and the corresponding website is GREAT if you teach any kind of current events class, or APHuman Geo or something where you need current global stories!! :)

Digital copies of World War II poster that can be downloaded and printed! Plus, an excellent photo blog about the Statue of Liberty.

1/8/13 Blog post by Larry Ferlazzo  The Reading Like a Historian curriculum engages students in historical inquiry. Each lesson revolves around a central historical question and features sets of primary documents designed for groups of students with diverse reading skills and abilities.

Great Civil War blog and internet resource resource hub for educators.

This article provides a case study of  how the CRCD framework shaped the  development of the "Day in the Life of  a Teenage Hobo Project," a multi-day  investigation into the social history of  teenage homelessness during the Great  Depression. Using the framework, Tom  Daccord, a former U.S. history teacher  and current academic technology specialist in Massachusetts, designed a  project that used multiple technologies- search engines, blogs, and podcasting  tools-to help students investigate the  political, economic, and social history  of the Great Depression. 

Academic blog post connecting Southern policing, white supremacist terrorism, and the post-emancipation history

Nice site for resources in a US History class.
