A site which students can use to... actually I don't get it. If it works though it looks very cool. It's something the kids can use as little mini-historians and then publish the product to the web. It's focussed on US history (well they are the 'hyperpower', aren't they?).
Dan Carlin - Hardcore History - 5 views

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.

Would be good for elementary/primary or middle school student research for a project or class activity or something like that.

I've found these really useful for my year 12s. Berkeley has an awesome history department and it's like the kids can be in the room during a lecture. They listen to them and take notes for their assignments. Parents love it, too. I've particularly found Isabelle Pafford useful for her lectures on the ancient world.

Der Giftpilz, the German word for toadstool, was a publication of Julius Streicher's publishing house. It was aimed particularly at kids, and was sometimes used in the schools. In each case, the caption under the picture is translated to the right. In several cases, there is a link to a translation of the story that accompanied the picture.

Harry Potter British/American text comparison - 15 views

Probably kind of out there, but if you teach AP Human Geography and need a current visual for comparing British to American English for the "Language" chapter - this site has a comparison of the British and American Versions of the first Harry Potter novel (so it's current for the kids and something they have a connection to)

Are you a Dan fan too, Sue? Sorry to keep harping on this everyone, but I've found iTunes an excellent central place to get podcasts from. On the most recent version iTunesU is even better; there are thousands of university lectures and seminars there freely available. I put them up on moodle for the kids to use for research, homework, etc or the students just get them straight from iTunes. Definitely worth a look.
