We Shall Remain | American Experience | PBS - 12 views

  •  
    I was looking for sources earlier this year for Native American history while I was teaching a unit on Australian indigenous history (I wanted to show the similarities and develop a fresh perspective in my students) and with both topics I struggled to find quality teaching materials, printed or digital. At least this can provide some background information and neat visuals for the students if you're doing a unit on indigenous peoples in the New World.

    Might be useful for younger classes looking at Korean history and society in the Joseon Period. There usually isn't much on the topic.

Maps of War ::: Visual History of War, Religion, and Government - 15 views

  •  
    Animated maps showing the imperial history of the Middle East and the spread of religions. The graphics are beautiful and provide a simple overview of the broad sweep of history. I've found these useful at the start of a unit/semester/term to provide a general introduction. My students think they need a hard rock track in the background as a soundtrack...

    Good for basic research or a lesson activity. Some of the articles looked alright. I'm not sure how the content is generated or if it's very reliable.

    I can't figure out if the content on this site is created for the site or if it has a search ability and retrieves content from all around the web. Contains many articles on early modern and modern American history.

The notebooks of William Dawes on the language of Sydney - 2 views

  •  
    "The Aboriginal language of Sydney is one of many Indigenous languages spoken in Australia. Almost destroyed in the whirlwind of colonisation, it was documented by William Dawes, an officer of the First Fleet of 1787-88"
  •  
    One of the few early sources we have for pre-contact indigenous history. I find as an Australian history teacher that the indigenous history of Australia is fascinating and useful to study, however the paucity of quality sources (primary and secondary) makes it difficult to teach. Hopefully that will improve with better scholarship on the topic in the future.

    How cool is this? A (hopefully legal...) collection of free documentaries. There are 61 full-length history documentaries at the moment including 'Fog of War', a documentary about the Kennedy administration.

Social Studies Rap Songs: Teaching US History, Government, and Geography with Education... - 15 views

  •  
    A useful resource for engaging with Gen Y. The rap isn't bad (I think) and the quality of the historical information is quite good for a middle or high school level. They aren't free however they're not too expensive either.
