Download videos from YouTube and other video sites without using a intermediate site just a plug in. Pretty cool technology

Classroom guides that are downloadable. Various topics all free with registration

Contains over 1000 full-length feature films that can be downloaded for free. They are all in the public domain.

An excellent collection of some important historical works, downloadable for free. Some people may lament that students won't read them anymore, but hey isn't it better than them just watching MTV? Controversial...

You can no longer apply for this program and get materials sent to you...BUT, if you look at the bottom of the "Educators" page, you will see links to download electronically the entire educator's resource book (I couldn't get the whole book as one download, but downloading chapter by chapter worked), AND the PPT with all of the images!! AWESOME resource!!

Has some very good powerpoints with accompanying podcasts which were produced for an AP World History class in Minnesota. The powerpoints can be downloaded but if you want to play the accompanying podcast with the presentation (would be great for the classroom) you have to stream it live.

Just realised you can download the mp3 of the podcast if you have one of those naughty YouTube downloader things. You can then play the podcast and the presentation simultaneously. Tricky but possible.

Huge list of resources for the Stolen Generations and the Bringing them Home report.

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

I love these podcasted lectures. I usually get them down through iTunes U or iTunes podcasts (free!) and then put them up on moodle (similar to BlackBoard) for students to download and listen to/watch for their homework/research. Parents get really impressed too when their little angel is listening to a Berkeley Uni lecture on their iPod! [(^).(^)]

Large collection of short historical videos which you can download if you have a YouTube downloader in your browser. Or else if you are lucky and your school has decent internet, you could just watch them in the classroom (*wistful sigh*).

download all the content of wikipedia to use offline

Dan put me on to this. We never need create a PowerPoint again. Similar is www.flowofhistory.com by Chris Butler in Illinois. Some great PowerPoints there.

A search engine for free ebooks. Usually these are out-of-print, older texts which can be useful for historical research.

My students like Dan. He has a dramatic and engaging way of going over historical topics and I've found him generally quite accurate. The podcasts cover a variety of topics; I subscribe to them through iTunes for free (^).(^) and then post them on moodle for the kids to download for their research. Does anyone know any other good podcasts?

I'd already saved this but Dan has just released the fourth show in his excellent 'Ghosts of the Ostfront' series so I thought I'd bookmark it again. If you're teaching World War II or the Indian Wars I strongly recommend you take a listen to Dan's podcasts. I put them up on our Moodle site so the students can use them for research; I usually download podcasts through iTunes. Some students enjoy them so much they listen to them on their own afterwards.

This interesting series from the British Museum has an accompanying podcast easily downloadable on iTunes.
