    Instapaper is a very useful service where you can save articles from the web. It will remove advertisements and other distractions, giving you a nice clean version of the article. You can also install an app on your mobile so you can read articles on the move, even when you don't have an internet connection.

    I like Zotero which is a free online bibliographical management tool.  haven't used it through Chrome yet but have used it in Firefox and got the add on for Word. It automatically cited information for you which was a real time saver for me when completing my Advanced Diploma studies. Read the article in Bright Ideas for more information.

    I too have use Zotero for my uni studies and found it quite clever. Zotero works better when installed using Firefox (which I personally don't use). So, if you are looking for a program to keep your bibliography on track take a look at this program.

    This is a really handy website which I use both personally and professionally. I am really keen on the idea of using fiction to help teach history. I think reading historical fiction helps bring history 'alive' and stimulates an interest in finding out more. Even if the book is not 100% correct it doesn't matter as discovering this is part of the learning process and encourages critical thinking.

    "Letter from the Mayor to the Earl of Kent, acknowledging his request of 20 Jan. for a force of 50 arbalesters for service against the Castle of Wallingford..." One of the richest repositories of primary sources. Read the proceedings of the Parliament during the Civil War or (depending on your Latin) records from the 13th century or look up the Ordnance maps from 1854.
