HootCourse: About - 6 views

    Social media-based class environment. How is this different from Edmodo? What features does it have? It looks like a more open and flexible environment than Edmodo, but that is one of Edmodo's perks--being a closed and secure environment, which is particularly appealing for a secondary school environment.

Was the Declaration of Independence Signed on July 4? How Memory Plays Tricks with Hist... - 1 views

  • What are we to think of history? when in less than 40 years, such diversities appear in the memories of living persons, who were witnesses?”[2]

      Primary documents are simply not more trustworthy that secondary sources
  •  
    Teachers can use the information in this article to show students that primary sources can be just as slippery as secondary sources. For those who want to understand what the AMA's Tuning Project means by the "provisional nature of knowledge" - this is it.

Exploring Ancient World Cultures - 5 views

  •  
    I usually don't add secondary sources (I've found books are much more comprehensive - secondary websites seem usually quite simplistic in their treatments) but thought this might be useful for people working with younger classes doing preliminary research or activities on ancient civilisations.

Slavery in the North - 0 views

  •  
    An interesting resource for the study of African slavery in the northern states of the US. I think they're trying to make a point. It gives secondary source information and also some quotes from primary sources on the topic.

HistoryWorld - 0 views

  •  
    This is largely a secondary sources (which I usually avoid - largely because I figure you've all already got enough of these in the classroom and library so primary sources are more valuable) however the information looked pretty good and it is easy-access for students. That's always a good thing. It has some timelines too.

Mongolian Culture - 2 views

  •  
    A vast and unorganised collection of secondary and primary source sites on all things Mongol. Amazing that there are so many sources left seeings the Mongols tended to burn any sources they came across. Along with the people who might have written them, come to think of it. Maybe that's why their PR is so bad?

Alexander's ancestors - 0 views

  •  
    A rather superficial secondary source giving basic information on Alexander.

The Classics Pages: Antony Kamm's 'The Romans': start page - 0 views

  •  
    Most of the information from this site is secondary, however it has some quotes from ancient authors in context and some beautiful images. The site maintains that the images are copyright and should be used only with permission and of course we'll do that. Of course.

    This is a paid-subscription site offered to secondary schools to assist in student research. A well-respected history teacher has told me that she found this very useful with her students.

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.

Medieval Castle History, Design of Medieval Castles, Haunted Castles: www.medieval-cast... - 1 views

  •  
    This is a secondary source with information on a wide variety of topics centred around medieval European castles. I usually avoid this type of site (superficial information, oversimplification) but this one has some beautiful images and it's a topic students usually enjoy.

History - Archeology, Anthropology & Paleontology | LiveScience - 0 views

  •  
    A secondary source which might be good for initial student research or for a teacher reading up on something outside their main areas of expertise (which as we all know is not uncommon...).
