They're probably a bit young Ginger to interact with the high school history students on the network. It might be a worry if there were misunderstanding or other problems given the age gap. Eventu...

1847 Pioneer Trek & Other Historical Reenactments via Twitter - 11 views
-
Tom on 04 Apr 10In April 1847, a group of pioneers left Omaha, Nebraska and headed west. Their group consisted of 147 men, three women, and two children. Their journey would cover more than 1,000 miles, and cross the Rocky Mountains. This small group would pave the way for more than 70,000 people to make the same journey. On Monday, April 5, 2010 you can start following the same journey as volunteers reenact the 1847 Pioneer Trek via Twitter. More info at http://twhistory.org/1847-pioneer-trek/. The TwHistory project began in early 2009 with the first Twitter reenactment of the Battle of Gettysburg over a period of several weeks. Later that year a high school class reenacted the Cuban Missile Crisis. TwHistory is based on the idea that historical reenactments can take place online and have positive effects for all involved. In school settings these virtual reenactments can increase engagement while providing opportunities for students to research personal journals and other primary source documents. In order to organize, study, and preserve these online reenactments we have created http://TwHistory.org

Group Ancient Civilizations's best bookmarks - 1 views
-
This group is dedicated to Ancient Civs, especially Egypt. I didn't want to just pinch their bookmarks as that's a bit rude (seeings I'm in this group) so I thought bookmarking their bookmarks, which will update, the best way. There are some great sites here.

The Pamphlet Collection - 2 views

"The Library holds 90,000 old pamphlets, many published in the 19th century or the early part of the 20th century. This is primary source material, published and written by pressure groups, political parties and individual campaigners." I'm getting lazy, letting the sources speak for themselves. Oh well.

Group World History Honors's best content - 9 views

A brilliant example of how to use Diigo with a class. We wouldn't be able to do this given the restrictions we have on assessment, yet the way annotations are used as student discussion is inspiring. Some great analysis on Bronze Age sources (which my students struggle to find).
Social Bookmarking - 8 views
-
"Furthermore, a social bookmarking system allows users to share their bookmarks with others and even join groups of people with similar interests. (Bookmarks can also be kept private.) In a school setting it means colleagues can share academic websites easiiy and students can share subject websites. A defining aspect of social bookmarking is that it simplifies how we share information with each other, and makes it easier to retrieve resources."
