Of course these comrades have no ulterior motives in providing the material. Of course. DEATH TO THE CAPITALIST PIGS! Of course. Still valuable as a source of historical information though.

There seem to be some gems in there for history teachers and it has two things going for it: it's not just a money spinner, and it's maintained by a practicing history teacher. Worth a look for some classroom resources when the bell's going in five minutes and planning's been the last thing on your mind... Although of course we never do that...

Born in Slavery: Slave Narratives from the Federal Writers' Project, 1936-1938 contains more than 2,300 first-person accounts of slavery and 500 black-and-white photographs of former slaves. These narratives were collected in the 1930s as part of the Federal Writers' Project of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) and assembled and microfilmed in 1941 as the seventeen-volume Slave Narratives: A Folk History of Slavery in the United States from Interviews with Former Slaves.

Seems to give thorough and accurate definitions of terms related to Classical history. Seems to be neglecting the reality that Asia had Ancient History too, but that's a minor oversight. Only a couple of billion people lived there anyway... Would be great for preliminary student research and definitions.

Contains many interesting perspectives and resources for history and social studies teachers. I use Bloglines to subscribe to blogs like this and keep them all in one place. Google Reader is also popular, I think. If you subscribe to good quality blogs like this then all you have to remember is the address of your blog reader and you can come across many interesting viewpoints from people who are actually in the classroom - not ideologically-driven careerists who publish through official documents from their ivory towers and have long since left the classroom! Long live educational democracy! Viva la revolution!
