Curso de la profesora Mariselle Meléndez que incluye fuentes y cartografía

Wikis in general tend to arouse some strong reactions in teachers (I guess we've all seen what Google and Wikipedia have done to research in many history and social studies classrooms...) yet I thought some people might find this useful, especially towards the start of the year when you look back over your units. Which of course we all do. Of course.

Useful essay on what history is. Thanks Matt!

Yes it is a concise essay expressing complex changes very succinctly. The Website from which it comes looks very useful too. A number of Key historical topics and periods each with some original articles, book reviews, recommended websites etc. It is backed by the very reliable Institute of Historical Research see: http://www.history.ac.uk/ihr/Focus/index.html

Thanks to Dan McDowell for this one. 

Looks like an excellent example of source forgery to demonstrate to students the need for source criticism.

A pretty comprehensive guide for beginners on evaluating sources. Useful for students.

Has some neat tips. Might be useful in helping your students develop their historical thinking skills.

A great list of Modern History websites.

Set of links from Pearson.

Another of the excellent sourcebooks run by those Jesuits at Fordham Uni. This is the best online primary source research for the ancient world I've found.
