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.

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.

This is a site from the student sites list. I didn't find much that would be used by students though. It is a good resource for economics teachers with links to Nebraska standards and sample lesson plans.

The site has a wide range of lesson plans that can be used in any K-12 grade classroom. Lessons include simulations as well as college and web lesson plans.
