Pictorial Study Guides for American History -
These fellows presented their online study resource - which includes, introductions, lesson plans, timelines, fun facts, summaries and test reviews, and a large image gallery sorted by time period - at a conference I attended in Pasadena last Spring. I think it is better for High School teachers and students. I teach 8th grade and use it mostly for my own edification.

An extensive collection of texts and images detailing many aspects of life in the South during the twentieth century. Seems to focus on 'everyday' history rather than the big events. But then again history is about people, isn't it?

This is where using the net gets tricky for students. We tell them never to use wikis (for good reason) and then something like this comes along. It's awesome. A fast-growing wiki (a site that anyone can add to) of historical sources. Shows why we need something like Diigo to filter the internet and provide guidance for the students regarding what to use in their research. Run by the same people as Wikipedia (Wikimedia). If you're ever looking for historical images can I suggest Wikimedia Commons.

Has a strong focus on social justice issues and wars. Both edges of the political spectrum seem to be neatly appeased... Should be useful for lesson planning on US history.

Thanks for the link, David. Actually, the site now also has tons of world history content. See our Features on Chinese history, Indian history, Women's history, Islamic history, and more. -
When teachers more broadly realise how many brilliant resources there are like this out there the days of the boring textbook lesson will be numbered!
