    This is a great site for students to use in the classroom. I used this in a middle school history class where we were studying the Middle East. Each student also had a blank hard copy to fill in with notes or to color. The students enjoyed working on the site and learned the material quickly...within the hour.

      The animated maps on the site like "March of Democracy" and "Imperial History of the Middle East" cover an extremely wide range of content in only about ninety seconds.  Students might not find these maps useful until they already have a grasp on content.

      Clicking the "Download" leads to downloadable powerpoint slides and presentations that already have maps embedded in them.

      Room for Debate seems like a great format for learning about different positions on an issue from current events. Today's essential question: Is post-traumatic stress among caregivers a significant problem? These wars in the Middle East have reminded our nation that soldiers must often fight for their survival on two fronts: overseas as well as at home.

      In today's Room for Debate, the Times as assembled a trauma specialist, a psychologist, a prof. of psychology, and a couple of authors. Each contributer is introduced a sort of credibility check, listing their relevant experience and stake in the discussion.

      The Times hosts these conversations on any current event. Recent discussions have been on Palestine, Last Week's Elections in the US, Afghanistan, Warren Buffett, Biofoods, etc.
