"The Great Britain Historical Database is a large database of British nineteenth and twentieth-century statistics. A significant amount of work has gone into integrating the referencing of spatial units, and where practical assembling data for different dates into single tables." You can use it for free, with some limitations on the amount of information you can retrieve. Very valuable though as in my experience it's hard to get a hold of historical statistics.

A great tool for students to use to understand the sequence of events in the Arab Spring and to understand historical significance. It would be interesting to ask students to compare international responses to the various uprisings and ask them to make a judgement about the fairness of each response.

In his study of people who find satisfaction with their lives, Harvard psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi defines as autotelic those who are happiest when they are absorbed in complex activities. By focusing on tasks and outcomes that stretch their skills, these young people are more likely to grow into contented adults. The most significant factor for autotelic development is what Csikszentmihalyi terms attentional capacity.

'Together with the introduction of rural mail delivery, the telephone, and the automobile, farm newspapers played a key role in the modernization of rural America. The Farm, Field and Fireside collection contains historically significant U.S. farm weeklies published in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

"History Animated is a fantastic resource for teachers of US History. The animations will make great supplements to classroom instruction. The animations are a significant improvement over drawing or pointing to places on a map. The site currently features animations on the Pacific War, the Civil War, the Revolutionary War and the Battle of Britain.

Would be an excellent student activity if you lived in a country with a significant and extant material history. You register with this network and nominate run-down buildings that you and your students can then restore, under the guidance of these volunteers. I guess there are some ethical problems there, but it would still be a wonderful experience for the students.
