    A huge collection of resources for career exploration geared toward K-8, but with the changes happening in the world of work, adults and high school students could benefit from this resource as well. This site also has resources for educators to help children explore careers.

    Great site to build skills in math. This tool is easy to access and have kids use. It is easy to show skills such as probability and graphing.

    National Center for Education Statistics Dare to Compare allows students to check what they know about subjects (social studies, math, science) compared with other US and international students from a 600+ question database. The "Create A Graph" page is a useful interactive tool for teaching ways to communicate statistics.

    This site has information for teachers and students how to best use the national archives. It has a link to the archived documents. I liked how it had a map of the United States and you could just click on Nebraska and it pulls up all the primary documents it has about it.

    This site is a trivia game which will also use research skills. If questions aren't answered correctly an address is given to connect with a page from the Smithsonian Institute. The answer can be found somewhere on that page. I think 5th graders would love the challenges presented and glean numerous interesting facts from the information presented.

    I heard about this site when I saw Pam Berger at the Heartland School Library Conference this summer. This sites lets you design your own interactive primary source activity. You can create digital movies, comic strips and rebus stories. Teachers can create and manage activities for a class. The site is simple enough that students (or student groups) could even create their own activities to present to their class. The site also operates completely online and requires no downloads.

    This Library of Congress site would be fun to use as a bell work activity in upper elementary school. Each day a student could pick one event from "today in history" to share with the class. Informative with pictures!
  • Beth Eilers on 01 Oct 10
     
    Today in History is part of the Library of Congress' American Memory project. As the title implies, the site pulls a signicant event in history, reports about it and shows primary sources -- photos and documents -- attached to the event. The writers generally pick one or two topics for the day and elaborate on those. Excellent for upper grades.

    This site hosted by the Library of Virginia contains a number of transcriptions of primary documents. The documents (most of which are excerpts from larger texts) are related to Virginia and are organized for time period, for example "A Nation in the Making" or "Virginia and the New South". This site would be useful in a number of American History Units as it contains texts from before the Revolution as well as from the Civil War.

    This site is a service of the U.S. Government Printing Office has hundreds of U.S governmental documents sorted into the following categories: cornerstone documents, Congressional, presidential, judicial, regulatory, demographic, economic and miscellaneous. This site would be great for social studies students who are studying U.S. history, or those who are comparing our government to other countries.
  • Caitlin Nelson on 26 Sep 10
     
    This website has a list of the "cornerstone documents" from our government. Many of these documents like the Bill of Rights, Constitution, and declaration of independence are the documents our country's laws were founded on. Very easy for students to access the most important documents.
  • Beth Eilers on 01 Oct 10
     
    From the Government Printing office... a fabulous and most interesting collection of links to primary and "Core" government documents -- the Declaration of Independence, Presidential Papers, Supreme Court decisions, and more! Great basic resource to help you "GET TO THE SOURCE!"

    This site was developed by educators working with the National Archives. It is an incredible site where you can design your own interactive activity with primary sources. There are seven kinds of activities you can build based on the type of learning you want student to achieve: finding a sequence, focusing on details, making connections, mapping history, seeing the big picture, weighing the evidence, and interpreting data. There are also a lot of really insightful pre-made activities that would work with many different grade levels. This site is just extraordinary! I plan to start using it right away!

    This is a wonderful site to help "bring history to life". I love how there are thumb nail images of each photo/drawing and written documents to give you a quick preview. My favorite feature is the interactive activities. This is something worth using with students and sharing with all staff!

    This site is a WEALTH of information on the history of the United States. It includes letters, documents, photos, audio and video that are all in the public domain (and there fore also legal to use) since they are all owned by the U.S. government. Using the search box will yield many results. My favorite search on this site is to find primary sources about the great depression. A search tip: be sure to click "gallery view" when you look at your search results. It helps you know what type of source you are looking at.

    This site covers historical topics, contains historical images and has a special teacher page with lessons and materials that are ready to use in the classroom. I love this site and use it often especially when I need some extra material for historical holiday celebrations in the classroom.

    This website has loads of links to primary sources on US history. I like the flexibility of the "more browse options" to find collections by time period, place or source format in addition to the browse by topic option. Source formats include books, periodicals, photos and film, some dating back to the 1400's. The "today in history" link is a good place to find daily tidbits to throw into lessons.
  • Tammy Davis on 26 Sep 10
     
    This site from the Library of Congress provides a vast collection of primary sources for educators. I like the way the site is organized so you can browse the collections by topic. One of the collection highlights is the Alfred Whital Stern Collection of Abraham Lincoln. This is a collection of more than 11,100 items donated to the Library of Congress in 1953. This collections includes Lincoln's life, Presidency, slavery, the Civil War, and Reconstruction. Primary sources available from the Lincoln era include newspapers, Lincoln's law papers, sheet music, broadsides, prints, cartoons, maps, drawings, letters, and campaign tickets.

    There is a lot on this website for students to search for primary and government documents. They are organized by topic or you can search for specifically what you need. This site is a great resource . There are many different ways you could use the documents found here.

    This site provides information that teachers from many different disciplines could use in their classrooms. There's information about literature, the environment, immigration, as well as culture and sports. There's also a link specifically for teachers where they can get lesson plans and ideas for their classroom.

    There are some great sites at this source. Their topics run from Women's history to Native American history. There are even maps. This would be a big help for upper elementary to 12th grade.

    This site has links to information on some of the states. Nebraska is one of the states with a link and there is a wide variety of information included about the state.
  • Crystal Knutson on 02 Oct 10
     
    While I directed my search to Nebraska once on this site, many of the other state sites that I checked out were really cool. I imagine upper elementary would benefit from this site for projects, but I could utilize this site in my Flat Stanley project. Flat Stanley is sent to my student's families in other states (countries) and we compare and contrast the physical geography, natural resources and climate. This site would allow me to do that while showing the students some specific historical/cultural aspects not experienced through typical research.

    The Newseum is an actual brick and mortar museum located in Washington, D.C. Its website contains an eye-opening feature called "Today's Front Pages," which publishes front pages from newspapers around the world (see link on the right sidebar). Excellent source for teaching Media Literacy by demonstrating how differences in societies and cultures frame news stories differently. Especially fitting for journalism and social studies classes. Varies from many of my chosen sites because it displays current primary sources.

    On a note of local interest for all OPS teachers, the Media Technology Center Library and the Joslyn Art Museum have worked together to provide classroom access to these historical, informational traveling exhibits. From Douglas County History to Native American History, call 557-2500 and have the trunks delivered to your classrooms to use for two full weeks. I work in this department one day a week -- and was totally thrilled to be introduced to these marvelous sets of get-your-hands-on primary sources. They can be used in primary grades through high school.
