    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 one will only be useful for Australian teachers (except in the astounding event of Aus'n history being taught outside the sunburnt country) and looks like it might be a little chest-thumpingly patriotic. That's not always a bad thing though is it and there are some primary sources you could pinch and then use for more subversive purposes if that's your thing.

    This provides a database of archaeological sites currently under excavation, including images of artefacts and some historical information. You search by region and then get a list of sites currently being worked on, so it can be a bit time-consuming but would be excellent for student research.

    What an excellent resource! It has a funky interactive map with little information windows that pop up as you mouse over them, and then if you click it gives you more detailed information. Definitely useful for student research or a classroom activity. The maps are quite beautiful.

    A site which students can use to... actually I don't get it. If it works though it looks very cool. It's something the kids can use as little mini-historians and then publish the product to the web. It's focussed on US history (well they are the 'hyperpower', aren't they?).

    My students like Dan. He has a dramatic and engaging way of going over historical topics and I've found him generally quite accurate. The podcasts cover a variety of topics; I subscribe to them through iTunes for free (^).(^) and then post them on moodle for the kids to download for their research. Does anyone know any other good podcasts?
  • David Hilton on 11 Oct 09
     
    I'd already saved this but Dan has just released the fourth show in his excellent 'Ghosts of the Ostfront' series so I thought I'd bookmark it again. If you're teaching World War II or the Indian Wars I strongly recommend you take a listen to Dan's podcasts. I put them up on our Moodle site so the students can use them for research; I usually download podcasts through iTunes. Some students enjoy them so much they listen to them on their own afterwards.

    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.

    This is where using the net gets tricky for students. We tell them never to use wikis (for good reason) and then something like this comes along. It's awesome. A fast-growing wiki (a site that anyone can add to) of historical sources. Shows why we need something like Diigo to filter the internet and provide guidance for the students regarding what to use in their research. Run by the same people as Wikipedia (Wikimedia). If you're ever looking for historical images can I suggest Wikimedia Commons.

    Here it is! If you'd like to become involved just please let me know and I'll give you teacher privileges. You can then approve your students' membership and monitor them. Any helpful feedback would be really appreciated - this is a collaborative effort and if we all feel ownership and have input it could be a great benefit to all of us. I suspect that especially our stronger students will benefit from this - those A students who need that extra stimulation can nerd it up on the network and help each other improve. Hope it works!

    I use them for thinking maps, to show how concepts and ideas are related, as flow charts when necessary, as a way to show comparisons and contrasts and as a way to show umbrella terms and then related terms.

    I'm definitely a convert. I now spend the first half of each lesson going through the content and the second half skills-building using graphic organisers, summarising, etc.

Annual Message to Congress by Abraham Lincoln - 6 views

      Lincoln perspective on necessary change in the face of opposition from an ideologically hardened opposition. "We must disenthrall ourselves..." is a call to look past that which we all hold as true (the common sense?) and focus on possibility: "we must think anew and act anew." Genius stuff.
  • The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew. We must disenthrall ourselves, and then we shall save our country.

    I have created a very successful lesson/activity around this painting. The details are as follows. This window has this year's assignment. The next reply has the previous years. Advice: WHAP Review Activity: The Twittering Masses Review activity (mostly 1914- and East Asia) Description - I previously set up 103 discussions on turnitin.com for this lesson so they post into that person's discussion board and all replies are kept under the initial post. This year they posted on our classes Ning.com in the discussion forum. Grading is also difficult - Since not every one will have the same amount of replies - people are more likely to write to Hitler than Cui Jian for instance. So, I am grading the posts holistically out of 10 (I often only have 100-200 points in a quarter, so for instance a test might only be worth 40 points). I have students use a heading that states who [character] is tweeting what topic they are focusing on and who they are writing to. I would be interested in feedback or improvements people think they can make on this lesson - should I use Moodle, [Again, I have switched to Ning.com] etc.? Many thanks. And you can add or subtract people as you wish, so we have actually added Marcus Garvey, Jomo Kenyatta, Stephen Biko, and Emiliano Zapata to our role play and taken the painters (of this painting) out of the role play - Write up for students: Go to http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1162771/The-Internet-sensation-dinner-party-painting-103-historical-guests--spot.html#comments to see who all these individuals are, in color. The rules: You will imagine that each of the historical actors above has access to twitter, the expanded edition, 140 words as compared to 140 characters, to communicate to the other guests present. You will choose six of them (from my list below - my list is the final list - some people pictured have been replaced) to role-play in the "Twittering Masses." As your historical

    See previous post for advice. This is how I set it up the first two years without specific WHAP content or themes: The rules: You will imagine that each of the historical actors above has access to twitter, the expanded edition, to communicate to the other guests present. You will choose up to four (at least three) of them to role play in the "Twittering Masses" role play. As your historical person, during the Twittering Masses role play you will write, "tweet," at least four other persons. Two of the people should be in close proximity to you based on the painting above. Another tweet should go to the person you feel closest to (not by proximity) at the party - this could be based on ideology (MLK Jr. and Gandhi), background (Tagore and Gandhi), lifestyle (Gandhi and Mother Theresa), etc. Explain in your tweet why you are writing them. The other tweet should go to the person you see as most opposed, or farthest from you - Gandhi and Hitler or Gandhi and Gates or Gandhi and Churchill - in this tweet you should either try to bridge the gap between your differences or explain why the person is wrong in their beliefs. If you have only three guests - you will need to make 5 initial tweets. You will respond to each initial tweet. Then who knows . . . All tweets should have some connection to WHAP content or themes. You may want to comment on the surroundings or other guests . . .

    Has some very good powerpoints with accompanying podcasts which were produced for an AP World History class in Minnesota. The powerpoints can be downloaded but if you want to play the accompanying podcast with the presentation (would be great for the classroom) you have to stream it live.

    Just realised you can download the mp3 of the podcast if you have one of those naughty YouTube downloader things. You can then play the podcast and the presentation simultaneously. Tricky but possible.

    The origin of "drinking the Koll-Aid." On November 18, 1978, a delegation led by California Congressman Leo Ryan visited the Peoples Temple cult in Jonestown, Guyana, and left the camp with 16 members who wanted to return to the U.S. Cult leader Jim Jones ordered his guards to open fire on Ryan's delegation as they waited to board a plane, killing Ryan & 3 journalists. Jones then ordered his followers to drink a cyanide-spiked drink, leading to the deaths of more than 900 people.

    This is a very interesting and unusual idea. Historians at Stanford have collected very specific and detailed information about historical events within short time frames and then produced graphic representations of these events that you can play over maps. It's very precise and perhaps too detailed for many high school level students to make sense of, however some of them helped show how historical phenomena occurred. Particularly chilling was the graphic showing slave purchases in the Rio slave market in the mid-C19th; you can see individual children being bought at specific times by specific people.
