"The TwHistory project began in early 2009 with the first Twitter reenactment of the Battle of Gettysburg over a period of several weeks. TwHistory is based on the idea that historical reenactments can take place online and have positive effects for all involved. In school settings these virtual reenactments can increase engagement while providing opportunities for students to research personal journals and other primary source documents. In order to organize, study, and preserve these online reenactments we have created TwHistory.org. View past and current projects on our reenactments page. You can also follow us on Twitter at @TwHistory."

Timelines.com is the first web site that enables people like you to collaboratively record, discover and share history. It's history recorded by the people, for the people.

This is a great site for understanding how our government works.

The site looks cluttered, but has great interactiveness with the states and countries in the world.

Lots of resources for studying US government for different grade levels including adults.
