    A brilliant example of how to use Diigo with a class. We wouldn't be able to do this given the restrictions we have on assessment, yet the way annotations are used as student discussion is inspiring. Some great analysis on Bronze Age sources (which my students struggle to find).

    Has a few images and some information useful for the history of African-Americans.

    I thought I'd already saved this to the group. It's an excellent community of social studies teachers and has some really thought-provoking discussions going on. I've found the contributors there to be very smart and well-trained in history teaching (just like us!).

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.

    Has some nicely organised pages with information that might be good for student research. Or a teacher brushing up on a topic they're not that familiar with... (^)_(^)

British Academy | PORTAL - Classical Antiquity - 8 views

  •  
    A cornucopia of history sites that I got from the excellent NCSS History group. If I was a really diligent group member I would save them each individually. But I'm not.

    I didn't find a vast quantity of material there (could be wrong) however there were some good audio-visual materials there which looked useful.

    They have a list of primary source websites there and might be useful in implementing and using interactive whiteboards in the classroom. Does anyone use interactive whiteboards? Are they any good? I'm pretty ignorant about them and I've heard conflicting accounts of their usefulness. They look damn cool though.

For Teachers (Library of Congress) - 4 views

  •  
    Has a strong focus on social justice issues and wars. Both edges of the political spectrum seem to be neatly appeased... Should be useful for lesson planning on US history.

    Interactive site which might be good for a lesson on African-American history.

    A Google Site that an innovative teacher in Hawaii uses with her classes. Very interesting.

    An excellent example of using online technologies with classes from a teacher in Hawaii.

My History Network - a network of history students from around the world - 14 views

    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...

    A database of archaeological finds of medieval badges and ampulla in Europe. It takes you to a map where you can search for them. Admission - I don't know what an ampulla is. Sounds cool though, doesn't it?
