Wikis in general tend to arouse some strong reactions in teachers (I guess we've all seen what Google and Wikipedia have done to research in many history and social studies classrooms...) yet I thought some people might find this useful, especially towards the start of the year when you look back over your units. Which of course we all do. Of course.

Could be useful when teaching oral history to students. Or not. It's up to you.

This History Ning (social network) is hosted in Portuguese however it's so large (17000 members!) that I thought it worth adding. It's on Ning - the same platform at the My History Network! OMG what a coincidence!

Very cool! You can download free audiobooks (and for once not all of them are C19th originals; some are quite recent) in a format that plays through iTunes and on your iPod/iPhone. For those of us who use iTunes to get our podcasts/lectures/etc this is good news indeed!

ABC-CLIO Social Studies Databases: Login - 10 views

I just had a look at the month-long free trial and this looks like a great resource for lessons or student research on history and geography. I'm waiting to receive a quote on how much an annual subscription costs. Subscriptions like this, I believe, can become excellent substitutes for textbooks.
-
My school has I believe all the ABC-CLIO Databases and I recommend them highly. They come out of our library budget. All teachers should at least try a free trial.

Thanks globaleducator (something tells me that perhaps that's not the name on your birth certificate...) for adding this site. I'm just saving the main page so I can refer back to it later when we're buying resources for our department.

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.

Good for basic research or a lesson activity. Some of the articles looked alright. I'm not sure how the content is generated or if it's very reliable.
