Teacher created lesson plans for the civil war. based on primary sources

A fast, fun overview of world history content. Comparable in some ways to The Millennium series by CNN. Some think this would be good for "flipping" the classroom. I happen to disagree - since it is too fast. Better for review imo.

Entertaining and informative series on topics in world history.

My students LOVE LOVE LOVE this series! I use them as unit openers in my honors world history class to previw the big ideas and hook them to that unit. I create higher order thinking type questions they answer after or questions where they predict things about the unit. But the videos are awesome!

great Modern History resource on the major conflicts of the 20th C

That's awesome. I love it as much as www.historicaltweets.com. I'm definitely using those images for my work computer desktop background! :-)

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