Happy New Year everyone; I hope 2011 is fruitful for you and your students. You may have noticed that recently we've had some people using the group for promotional purposes. Those members have been banned and I apologise for that.
This group has grown into a excellent collection of history and social sciences resources and a community that contains some of the most innovative teachers in those fields today. If you notice someone using this community for private or purely business purposes please let either me or one of the group moderators know and we can remove them.
I sincerely hope that you and your students will continue to benefit from the sharing that takes place here. I believe this type of group is just the beginning of what we will see in the future when it comes to online collaboration and if we can maintain the integrity of the group we will all continue to benefit.
Best wishes again for the New Year. It's been a please collaborating with you for the past year and a half!

I've uploaded a few documents related to Habits of Mind in AP World History to my Scribd page. Does anyone else use Habits of Mind in their teaching? My school is implementing it next year and I'd be very interested in learning from the experiences of others. 

Thanks Louise. I'll check it out.

Not sure how useful this would be but it's fun. You can search the frequency of terms from 1800 to the present in books and Ngram will graph the results. 

Recordings from the 2010 Global Education Conference. 

Not strictly history-related however has many tools that might be useful for history teachers. 

An excellent news-style history page. Seems to aggregate blog posts from the most prominent history bloggers. 

A guide to teaching some of the seminal images of American history. 

Our new National Curriculum takes a world history approach, which is a new direction for history in my State. This is an interesting argument for big-picture, as opposed to civilisational or thematic, approaches to conceptualising history. 

These are the semester outlines used by one of the best schools in my city, Brisbane State High School, for all subjects. 

Has historical films. Some of them are the excellent films produced by Niall Ferguson. Possible to download if you're crafty :)
