Histography is an impressive interactive timeline spanning today through the beginning of recorded history. The timeline is divided into fifteen categories including war, politics, discoveries, inventions, and art. To explore the timeline select one of the categories listed on the Histography website then adjust the timeline slider to see events from the range of dates that you've selected. After choosing a category and date range you can click on dots in the timeline to see pop-up boxes containing event titles, representative pictures, and a link to a Wikipedia page about the event.
This is an interactive, online whiteboard where you can plan and draw webs and timelines and whatever you can think of. You can also insert videos, documents, photos, and lots of other things. You can put notes and post-its and, best of all, you can invite other people to be on the board with you and edit together!! As a teacher this could be very handy and posting a link to it on your classroom website will enable you to work with your students at home!

This article talks about KWLs, a way to measure student learning quickly and efficiently. The letters KWL stand for "what we know", what we want to know", and "what we learned". I choose this article as a resource because it helps instructors gage a students prior knowledge and even gives you a timeline of what using the KWL assessment should look like.
