A site with letters, diagrams and other primary source material from The Rock. Wasn't that was the movie was called?
Ancient Civilizations - 0 views
-
This is an interesting site which will be engaging for students, I'd imagine. Has funky graphics and colourful movement. It is organised around several themes and then students can choose a civilisation to focus on. They them look through a series of images with accompanying information. Seeings it's by the British Museum it should be good quality information.
The University of Oklahoma College of Law: A Chronology of US Historical Documents - 1 views
-
This site rocks. A collection of excellent sources very well-organised and covering each period of US history since British settlement right up to the twenty-first century.
History of Nations - 0 views

It's a secondary source and the information is fairly cursory, yet as it is organised around the different nations around the world it might be useful for preliminary or geographic research.
Ansel Adams's Photographs of Japanese-American Internment at Manzanar - (American Memor... - 7 views
-
The images are organised around themes and can be viewed in very high resolution. Very interesting to see too that even 65 years ago Japanese people always had immaculate hair all the time. Amazing.

How One Teacher Uses Twitter in the Classroom - 11 views
-
I've been using Twitter with my 11s and 12s this year and the feedback so far has been very positive. It's created a real buzz. If anyone would like to join in with their students I'd encourage you to check out #historystudent on Twitter. I recommend downloading Tweetdeck first (my students use that). It would be great to have other students and teachers sharing the feed. A great discussion can also be found at #historyteacher, organised by Russell Tarr. I've picked up many resources there.

Jules R. Benjamin, A Student's Online Guide to History Reference Sources, Eleventh Edition - 11 views
-
Welcome to the Web site for A Student's Online Guide to History Reference Sources. Adapted from the appendixes in A Student's Guide to History, Eleventh Edition, this site guides you to some of the best tools available for the most common research areas.
-
This site accompanies a book I bought recently and would highly recommend as a useful guide for high school history students. It contains research and writing style guides and heaps of online resources (which I'm going to add to the group anyway). It's written for introductory undergraduate students yet would be useful for senior high school history students and is written and organised clearly and effectively.

A well-organised guide to research and writing for students of history, science and the social sciences generally. Nicely laid-out too.
Unit 1 (AP World History) - 17 views

Good example of using an LMS (Learning Management System [cool jargon to know!]) for a class. My school uses Moodle and BlackBoard is popular at Australian universities. I organise mine by lesson and direct the students to go through the materials before the lesson, usually podcasts, PowerPoints, links to a source site, etc, depending on what materials I'm using for the lesson. After the lesson I put the podcast of it up there for the students to use for revision, along with the notes they've taken during that lesson. Much more effective than a textbook, I reckon!
Indian Ocean History - 8 views
-
An excellent resource for teaching the history of the Indian Ocean Basin. It has some great flash-based maps where you can click on funky-looking icons and get some detailed historical information. Very Gen-Y friendly and there seemed to be some quality history in there. The whole site too is based on a historiographic approach of understanding (and teaching) history as organised around oceans rather than continents or civilisations or periods. An interesting approach I think, especially for showing historical connections between otherwise distinct peoples.
American History and American Studies Research Guide - 7 views

Well-organised portal to primary sources on many aspects of American history. Thanks Yale University Library. You rock.
The Library of Congress' collections on Flickr - 8 views

I thought I'd added these already to the group, however the Diigo toolbar tells me I hadn't and he's never to be doubted. Please don't ask how I know the toolbar is male. These collections are well-organised and high-quality. Focus on the US (for obvious reasons).
Topics in Chronicling America - 4 views

"Chronicling America provides free access to more than a million historic American newspaper pages. Listed here are topics widely covered in the American press of the time. We will be adding more topics on a regular basis."

Again, thought I'd added this one. Oh well. Well-organised set of collections.
Syllabus Central - 9 views

Has links to some example course documents from universities and a high school in America and Australia. I'm always interested in checking out how other people organise their courses; I'm redoing our Modern History Program at the moment. I prefer the chronological rather than thematic approach, although it seems it's going out of fashion these days.

Has links to professional organisations and resource websites, some curriculum documents from Canada and a discussion forum with a few lonely posts.
