History Teachers

Cool online simulations, though I see them more as "Choose your own adventure" types...still I think students will like them! Even come with short answer questions and quizzes!!!

Cool resource for "choose your own adventure" type simulations online where students can read about history, but feel like they are navigating through it! Comes with short answer and quiz questions to check comprehension

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/

cute idea for teaching history - primary documents with question in case file

these are GREAT!!!! I've used some of them before - students really like them.

Not strictly history-related however has many tools that might be useful for history teachers. 

"It doesn't matter if you're a veteran teacher or a newbie just now taking college courses - finding new ways to get students engaged in the classroom is always a great thing. One way many teachers are reaching out is with the multitude of material found on the web, allowing them to turn everyday lessons into a multimedia experience. You can find a great amount of helpful material on these sites, including videos to augment your lessons, lectures to inspire students, documentaries to show them how things work, and loads of additional videos to help you become a better, smarter teacher."

Great summary of the causes of WW2, looks very appealing. My students loved it.

That's brilliant. Thanks!

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.

Turn your students into historians with primary-source based activities that develop historical thinking skills. Activities are ready to use in your classroom. Or alter an existing activity to fit your unique needs. Exchange primary source documents and modify activity instructions. Log in to borrow from an even larger selection from fellow educators.

That looks great for showing the interactions between geography and history in America.
