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!

Several new members have joined in the last couple of days. I'd encourage you to get your students involved in 2010. Early results have been promising and we'd love to have you along!

I'm adding this again to try to drum up business; shameless promotion, I know. I'd encourage you to join up; it would be a great experience for your students. Hope to see you there...

Open a cookie, get an (UN)fortune that links to historical documents/events! Great for the classroom or just for fun!

A cute site that is perfect for engaging students in history! You open a virtual fortune cookie and it gives you a silly fortune that relates to something that happened in history! It's powered by Footnote so we know it's good!

The comprehensive virtual tour allows the visitor to take a virtual, self-guided, room-by-room walking tour of the whole museum. The visitor can navigate from room to room either by using a floor map or by following blue arrow links connecting the rooms. Camera icons indicate hotspots where the visitor can get a close-up on a particular object or exhibit panel.

I've been using Twitter with my 11s and 12s this year and the feedback so far has been very positive. It's created a real buzz. If anyone would like to join in with their students I'd encourage you to check out #historystudent on Twitter. I recommend downloading Tweetdeck first (my students use that). It would be great to have other students and teachers sharing the feed. A great discussion can also be found at #historyteacher, organised by Russell Tarr. I've picked up many resources there.
