This is a website by the University of Oregon that gives some good ideas about how to use some technologies in the classroom - such as Powerpoint and Blackboard, and also provides some other ideas on how to use technology in instruction.

I found this website when doing an assignment for another class. It has lots of ideas of engaging simulation activities for lots of subjects within social studies, such as civics, economics, history, geography, and others. Some of my favorites include the Oregon Trail activity and the Presidential Interview Panel. If you cannot find the type of activity you are looking for, there is a great search bar that allows you to look for more ideas you weren't even aware of.

Exactly what it sounds like. Plus it was named "Best resource sharing blog" in 2008 by Edublog, so apparently it's pretty cool.

I found this blog under the list of Edublog award winners and thought it was really interesting. It has posts everyday for new ideas for using technology in the classroom. For example, for today there is a post about Gapminder, a type of graphing technology that can be used for lesson plans, quizes, and animations. I also really like this blog because it gives links to each application and then has a whole section on how it can be realistically applied in the classroom.

This is a great website for history teachers. It provides a comprehensive guide to teaching history with various types of technology. It includes different links to websites that provide technological lesson plans and activities, most of which I found could be very useful in a history classroom. The site also gives ideas on creating presentations and using multimedia in the classroom. Another great feature the site provides is the ability to discuss and collaborate with other history teachers - it provides blogs, Wikis, and even Google docs.
