    Pre-categorized primary sources--such as "disasters" or "inspiration". Seems great for first exposure to primary sources as research or going deeper than the textbook

      The problem with this site is that the links they provide are not often scholarly, and as such aren't as reliable as other sources may be.

      This site contains mainly secondary source information, actual photos and a primary source account of the court of inquiry.

      I would use this site for an indepth study of the Maine incident leading to the start of the Spanish American War. Also it includes a comparison of the Maine disaster and the World Trade Center attack that might prove interesting to broach as a topic of discussion.

      This site contains a lot of information, which would no doubt be useful to social studies teachers. It contains various links, a good bibliography and other items of interest. Of particular value would be the bibliography which would allow for a more indepth examination of the topic.

    This site features photos, biographies of people involved in the incident and excerpts from newspapers, crewmen, etc.

      This site does not rely on any specific sources, but rather affirms the chronology of historical events.

      I would use this source as a way to determine the most important events to discuss throughout a unit.

      Some teachers might ask students to create timelines, and this site would be helpful in assessing their accuracy. Otherwise it would be useful for teachers in developing their units.

    This site is a great supplement for planning lessons. The scope and sequence vary, and the depth is minimal for a classroom setting, but it can help immensely in determining what content to include in the preliminary unit planning stages.

      The site relies on a lot of different sources but National Geographic is a reliable source. There are great tools here for teachers to take current issues and make them relevant in students' lives. You could use the site for research, inspiration and/or to get students involved in local community issues. It's great for a civics, current issues and/or geography class.

    I absolutely LOVE the National Geographic Website as a social studies tool. I've specifically used it in civics classes or geography classes for students to study current events, but the options are endless. They have videos, pictures and great information.
