An excellent resource for the Cold War! Clearly labelled and well-maintained links to primary source documents. Just what we like!

This quiz focusses quite a bit on Australian history (how parochial!) and requires some quite detailed factual knowledge, however might be useful as part of a whole class game show or something like that...

Thanks for this excellent link, Daniel. Those Canadians seem to have some pretty good ideas on how to study history.
-
Two weeks ago I heard a conference by Peter Seixas (the Canadian who is behind these benchmarks) and it was absolutely inspiring... if ever you have the opportunity, go and see and hear him talking about history teaching!
Course: Mrs. Daniels' Enriched World History - 2 views
-
A very good example (I think) of how lms's (learning management systems - don't worry, I had to google it) such as Moodle or BlackBoard can be used with your history classes. Essentially every history teacher can take on the role of textbook writer, thus returning the teacher to the position of expert. And that's got to be a good thing! Well done Mrs Daniels. You're a trailblazer.
The History Engine: Doing History with Digital Tools | Academic Commons - 0 views
-
'One of the primary goals of the History Engine project has been to design a research and writing exercise modest enough in its analytical scope and its length that it allows students to "do history" long before a senior seminar or capstone course. (Another important goal, discussed below, is to capture this research to amass a large history archive.) The History Engine is an online archive consisting of thousands of "episodes" written and contributed by undergraduates.'

This is a group for American History teachers which contains some study guides and also some historical documents.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 seems to update with interesting topics that students might find relevant for research or for classroom activities. I use Bloglines to subscribe to the feeds on sites like this (Google Reader is also good) and that way I only have to go to one site to keep up to date.
Fun with Ancient History - 0 views
-
This is really cute! It's a series of puzzles of historical images, with jigsaw pieces that you move into place while a timer ticks. Might be fun with some junior classes - an engaging (there's the education buzzword!) tool for a rainy day. Also has a 'Dress Up A Historical Figure' section. Sounds interesting.
Using Primary Sources - For Teachers (Library of Congress) - 0 views
-
This is a guide to creating lessons using primary sources provided by the Library of Congress. They've just started a new initiative helping teachers use primary sources in the classroom; I went to the site they're set up but there wasn't much there. Maybe it will grow in time.
The Humphrey Winterton Collection of East African Photographs: 1860-1960 - 0 views
-
A collection of over 8000 photos from East Africa from 1860-1960. Probably useful for classroom resources (you know, stick 'em on a worksheet, that type of thing), assessment pieces or in student research. I found with my year 12s that they needed some guidance on how to extract historical information from images ('thinking historically') but after that they used images like these well in their research for their assignments.

The main page of the English Heritage archives. There are several sub-pages all related to British history here.
Homepage - Vizerra.com - 0 views

A site which offers 3D downloads of historic sites. There aren't many there yet but it looks well-resources so should probably grow. Has Macchu Picchu and some sites in Europe and Asia.

This site is quite specialised but if you're doing research or looking for resources on archaeology in prehistoric, ancient or medieval Britain then this is the place for you. Lots of neat images - they have a link to their photostream on flickr.

This site looks like an excellent collection of sources, lectures, images and heaps of other stuff on all aspects of American history. You can even ask a historian a question about US history. How cool!
VL - Archaeological Resource Guide for Europe - 1 views
-
The Archaeological Research Guide for Europe. Pretty self-explanatory, really. It has a neat search function.
Extensive Information on Archaeology and Artefacts at Archaeology Expert (UK) - 0 views
-
Another great site on things archaeological. Archaeologists seem to be making even better use of the possibilities the net has opened up than historians. This site provides some good quality, free services.
TimeMaps Atlas of World History - 1 views
-
An excellent site for maps of civilisations of all time periods and regions. Easily usable - great for student research or developing classroom resources. Just save the images and Bob's your uncle!
-
Just checked this site out for Medieval History maps. The site is only in Beta phase at the moment and only covers up to the end of Ancient History. i.e. 500AD
