      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.

    Ok so this is not as ridiculous as the last video I posted I swear (but it's still a little ridiculous). This guy performs a rap about Alexander Hamilton in the character of Aaron Burr. Definitely a way to make learning about an important man a little more fun. Probably only for high school students though as there's some minor language in it.

      Many of these links correspond with instructional goals. Social studies classes are supposed to make students into informed citizens, so teachers could find "The importance of civic participation" very useful.

      I would find this site very useful for teaching an American government class. It is a useful supplementary site to show how our principles of government as found in the Constitution manifest themselves today.
  • Developed for students as well as the general public, these interactive learning activities are designed to give you a fresh perspective on how the United States Congress works, your role in the process, and peoples' perceptions about Congress. To open the modules, click the graphic.

      This site provides links to other organizations or foundations that have created lessons. They also have state standards and lesson plans for teachers to use as guides.

    This site explores various aspects of current political life (E.g. criticism of Congress, how Congressional members decide to vote, how the legislative process works, etc) via interactive links for students to explore for themselves

      Great general resource for teachers who are looking for options to enhance their geography classes.  Online resources at reliable government websites to help augment lessons and skills.

      I would use this site as a resource for my students to do research for themselves.  I would also use some of the sites as alternate assignments for students.

      This site is an awesome resource for social studies teachers looking for internet resources to give their kids.  It is both credible and provides general enough resources that allow them to use it for all lessons.

    AWESOME civics and citizenship lesson plans. High school level but very cool. Lots of stuff where you apply Rousseau's theories to paintings from the 60's etc. Lots of multimedia type fun stuff. Love them. A part of the "Youth Leadership Initiative"

      This is a great site for visual learners. Being able to see political and culutral transformations of continents is an incredible tool for students of all ages. Unfortunately, not all maps on this site are free. There is a nominal fee that charges for acess to more obscure maps.
