This is a seven minute video that I found from MSNBC. It deals with the journey diamonds take from the mine to the store. My students were surprised at how much goes into producing a diamond.

Journey of a diamond

I used this site with my students in our study of diamonds and their origins. It's great interactive site that allows students to not only see the countries discussed on a map but also take a look at information on that particular country.

One of my favorite topics to teach is the Women's Suffrage Movement and Alice Paul - I just found out that this museum is right here and full of resources and opportunities for out students to learn about the movement hands-on.

I wish I had found this page when I was teaching Economics my first year! It is rich with resources (readings, etc). You are able to choose the grade-level, the type of media, and the standard/topic you wish cover.
