Nebraskastudies.org is a visual, interactive timeline of significant events in the history of Nebraska and the world. Each image in the visual time line is a link to an article with more information and media to go along with the topic. The site is a joint venture of NET public television, the Nebraska Department of Education, and the Nebraska State Historical Society.

A web site from the History Channel where students can use an interactive tool to get information about some of the aspects of our universe, see actual and computer generated images, and see in detail some of the components of our universe.

This site has a wonderful combination of multicultural education, Hispanic traditions, and history. It could be used to celebrate diversity and Hispanic heritage in the classroom.

Glogster is a free service that allows you to create a multimedia poster. Glogs can include images, audio, and video. Direct integration with SchoolTube makes video embedding easy. The education version of the site keeps students isolated from general user content. Students can use this as an alternative to reports, to give presentations, or to react to literature (among countless other uses).

A valuable teaching tool that integrates diverse core subjects including math, science, history, art, photography, music and more for individual learner portfolios, unique alternative assessments, and differentiated instructional activities.

This site was pretty cool, especially for Nebraska educators. This was the Official Nebraska Government Website for Teaching Materials. This site was mainly aimed towards History teachers, but it could probably be used by a variety of teachers. As a substitute at Boys Town, I would use it to educate students from other areas of the country about Nebraska. The downfall on this site is that it's very Nebraska centered. This might limit its usefulness to teachers from other states.

This is a website where you can click on several "ologies" (sociology, anthropology, etc) and learn about lots and lots of things that fall in that category. Very interactive and great graphics!

This website contains interactive activities where students can explore math, science, language, history and arts.

Probably better for older students, So Just offers links to speeches, songs, poems, letters, etc. Could be used as discussion starters as well as for their own literary merits.

On xtimeline.com, students and teachers can create media-rich timelines. xtimeline allows you to embed pictures and videos along with text and links to more information.

Timeline generator that lets you visualize pictures, text and sound. Great for the history classroom.
