Slide show of African cave paintings in Zimbabwe

Great to find quick videos on provacative, intruiging topics as discussion starters, writing prompts, or with online courses...

This video provides sources via the Smithsonian for online conferences about Abraham Lincoln,and it's just funny.

access original books, like Vesalius's book on human anatomy and more.

also has audio clips on each page giving explanations and little tidbits - as well as zoom controls and when you scroll your mouse over a page, a zoomed pop up appears with info...since we discuss Vesalius's book on Anatomy, it was a great way for my students to view the actual resource and draw correlations between him and the Renaissance - as the audio and extra info discusses his desire to help sculptors and painters...

Comprehensive feeds of the lectures put online by Oxford University. Useful for senior students for homework activities or research.

This site has some good Web 2.0 based resources, including ready-made Google Earth flyovers, overlays and 3-D models.

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.

Pictorial Study Guides for American History

These fellows presented their online study resource - which includes, introductions, lesson plans, timelines, fun facts, summaries and test reviews, and a large image gallery sorted by time period - at a conference I attended in Pasadena last Spring. I think it is better for High School teachers and students. I teach 8th grade and use it mostly for my own edification.

This downloadable SlideShare accompanies my workshop in "Teaching with Documents." Don't think of it as a presentation. It's a online guide to resources and includes strategy illustrations from my workshop.

Site by the Goethe Institute. Lesson materials for teaching about modern Germany. I ESPECIALLY recommend the online game simulation "Race 4 the Future"...my kids really enjoyed it!

oops...meant to add that while they sell a FABULOUS and well priced curriculum - there is a FREE podcast online for most of their programs with short relevant video episodes that go GREAT with class...just look them up on iTunes "The Choices Program"
