ERIC - Education Resources Information Center - World's largest digital library of education literature - 8 views

  •  
    I hadn't realised how much full text stuff is available from ERIC otherwise I would have added it sooner. Just do a full-text advanced search for 'history' and Bob's your uncle. It's always good to know what the smart people are saying we should be doing. I don't know about you though, but sometimes those smart people strike me as a little stupid...

Portal:History - Wikiversity - 4 views

  •  
    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.

    Ok, so this isn't a terribly serious nor detailed account of WWII. But it may help some of those students on the edge of oblivion if you know what I mean. :D

Cafe Historia - A Sua Rede Social de História - Inscreva-se! É rápido e gratuito! - 2 views

  •  
    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!

ODS Search - 4 views

    "ODS covers all types of official United Nations documentation, beginning in 1993. Older UN documents are, however, added to the system on a daily basis. ODS also provides access to the resolutions of the General Assembly, Security Council, Economic and Social Council and the Trusteeship Council from 1946 onwards. "

    Not very user-friendly, but if you know what you're looking for you should be able to find it.

What is History? - 26 views

    This site rocks! You'll never use PowerPoint again. It takes a while to get used to, but the effort is worth it. I've done up this presentation for my year 11s to introduce them to history. I plan on playing 'Golden Years' by David Bowie and 'Think About It' by Flight of the Conchords in the background as a soundtrack. I'm guessing that you could edit and use it if you wanted. Pretty cool!

    VERY COOL!!!! I'm sure it took a LOT of time to create!!! It's awesome! Thanks for sharing it!

Coming of the American Revolution - 27 views

    This is an interactive website from the Massachusetts Historical Society.
  •  
    What a great site Bob. Thank you for sharing. I am certain I can use this site for ideas in the classroom!
  •  
    I worked on it this summer. I especially recommend the docs for "non-consumption and non-importation" (the word boycott did not exist yet!). They are very student friendly and can be used in a U.S. history or world history class and can easily connect with boycotts today. Overall, this site could be used as an exemplar for other historical societies to follow: Intro to the whole site, intro to each topic, intro to each subtopic with questions, intro to each document with questions, a facsimile of each document, and a transcription. Fyi and fwiw, the Mass Historical Society will be hosting a Landmarks Institute this summer through NEH so U.S. teachers might want to apply: http://www.masshist.org/education/silver/crossroads-home/

Curriculum development timelines | ACARA - 5 views

    Thanks for adding that mate. I just went to a conference on the National Curriculum and came away less informed on what we have to do than before I went! Come to think of it, I might start a conversation on that.

    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. 
  •  
    Yes my school has been using Dimensions of Learning for the last three years. Keep an eye out for Art Costa who comes out from the States to inservice teachers in Brisbane on Habits of Mind. I really enjoyed my day with him. Very practical stuff. If you are interested you can join a learning hub; go to http://www.nsn.net.au/habits_of_mind_hub This link is a some what old but you can join and receive email updates on various events they are running.

    Thanks Louise. I'll check it out.

    Excellent resources, graphic organisers, matrices, etc for history teachers no matter what system you teach in. The Change Analysis Charts and SPRITE have transformed my teaching.

Don Cheadle on African American Lives: What He Discovered - 5 views

  •  
    Interesting story that links Indian Removal (1830s) with the Civil War and Reconstruction, then includes the consequences of the Dawes Act - which benefited Cheadle's family but few Natives.

Fascinantes momies d'Égypte - Quand la science remonte de fil de l'histoire : Musée de la civilisation - 6 views

    Hi Ginger. I am creating a course in the history of art. I have posted your link on the page about mummies. I was quite delighted by your approach. Could you tell me about where you teach them what you teach and if you might be interested in the courses I am developing. Warmly, Katherine Bolman, Ph.D. www.ahaafoundation.org/ The quality of life is genuine not in the build-up of material welfare, but in the enlightened creativity of life, in the harmonisation of life. - --

    I've been looking for someone to be an art history expert! We're a grade 5-8 charter school in Kansas with 1:1 laptops, working with a PBL approach. For my younger/newbie, I find sites for them for the first bit of the year. I'd love to look at these ancient civilizations through their art and literature. You can contact me at GingerTPLC *at* gmail *dot* com. We'd love to have a course that offers more expertise, or better yet, a moment of your time to perhaps Skype in with us sometime.

Talking History - 11 views

    "Over the past several years, History Matters has organized twenty-five online dialogues with leading historians and teachers about the the teaching of major topics in U.S. history--from early settlement to the Vietnam War. Those discussions are archived here and contain many useful teaching suggestions"
  •  
    There are a couple of pages on this site which might be useful for history teachers in challenging us to reflect on our practice. I don't know about you, but too often I get so caught up in the bureaucratic paperwork and day-to-day of teaching I forget to reflect on the big picture of what teaching history is all about...

Understand what was the bombing of Riocentro - 0 views

  •  
    (I translated this post for my friends undestand more about History of Brazil.) Many people do not know this story but it is good that the issue to come out to debunk the myth that democratic opening in Brazil was "slow, gradual and safe" and that President Figueiredo is a great democrat. The opening was rather slow and gradual, but it was not safe. In addition to this attack, were charged as the other letter bomb at the headquarters of OAB and explosions of stands selling newspapers in the labor movement.
