"Topical units on Japan in the modern world and early-modern China. Images of every sort are introduced and examined here-in partnership with contributing institutions and collections."

Perfect for the Asia in the C20th unit I'm doing with my 12s this term. Thanks heaps :)

I found this on the Asia Education Foundation website - http://www.asiaeducation.edu.au/default.asp. If you're doing units on Asia, definitely worth taking a look.

This is so fantastic! I can't wait to use it in my class :)

This is an article I co-wrote on using a technique (RAFT = role, audience, format, topic) to make history work more creative and worth while for students. I would love to hear what others think about the assignment

This could be an excellent resource for making graphic organisers.

Animaps extends the My Maps feature of Google Maps by letting you create maps with markers that move, images and text that pop up on cue, and lines and shapes that change over time. When you send your Animap to friends it appears like a video - they can play, pause, slow and speed up the action!

Nice site for resources in a US History class.

I LOVE HISTORY! But do your students? Chances are some of them might think it's boring - hours of reading and memorizing dates. And, let's face it; history can be a little dry sometimes.

Teaching Comparative Religion Through Art and Architecture Center for Middle Eastern Studies - University of California - Berkeley Three Monotheistic Religions: Judaism, Christianity, Islam Objectives: This exercise is intended in part to communicate information about the three major monotheistic religions of the Middle East--Judaism, Christianity and Islam--about beliefs, events, symbols, institutions and practices important to the three religions.

With hundreds of different topics to study between the major Social Studies disciplines, it can be a complete drag to pick out the best eBooks for your students.

Animated maps showing the imperial history of the Middle East and the spread of religions. The graphics are beautiful and provide a simple overview of the broad sweep of history. I've found these useful at the start of a unit/semester/term to provide a general introduction. My students think they need a hard rock track in the background as a soundtrack...

Has thousands of free ebooks. Most of them are pretty old translations (given that these are the ones out of copyright) but there were some surprisingly new ones. Good for research.

TONS of links to seemingly all things WWII, Nazi, and Holocaust.
