Here it is! If you'd like to become involved just please let me know and I'll give you teacher privileges. You can then approve your students' membership and monitor them. Any helpful feedback would be really appreciated - this is a collaborative effort and if we all feel ownership and have input it could be a great benefit to all of us.

Several new members have joined in the last couple of days. I'd encourage you to get your students involved in 2010. Early results have been promising and we'd love to have you along!

Has access to online history scholarship, although by the looks of it some of the materials there can only be accessed after you've paid membership.
