From site: " Our vision is to provide an enjoyable and informative website that allows you to add your ancestors' life events where they happened and to be able to share that knowledge in a secure and collaborative environment. Over time, as more and more people add their data, Ancestral Atlas will be a site for not only creating a visual data base of your family tree maps (your own Ancestral Atlas) but also a primary source for continued research into your family's history."
This is a group for American History teachers which contains some study guides and also some historical documents. Might be useful as a site for sharing ideas and resources.
This is a group on Ning for like-minded educators. For those of you unfamiliar with Ning, I'd recommend a look. It has some great tools for developing networks with other educators.
Not sure if this has many useful sources but I thought it might still be useful with your students. The familiarity of the format might be helpful, especially for younger ones?
From this page various other free internet sites will be inked. In this way we
will develop a vibrant professional community using resources that you can
easily apply to your classroom.
A useful overview of the importance of research in high school history and how it is generally structured in Queensland. Relates particularly to the QLD syllabus but other jurisdictions may find it interesting. Research is particularly emphasised in our current curricula here at the moment. Thanks Lisa!
Does anyone else use Twitter with their classes? I use #historystudent with my senior history students. Please feel free to bring your students onto the feed. DM me on MisterHistory@twitter.com if you'd like to organise collaboration.
