    This site contains primary documents to help students understand what was happening when our country was seeking independence and after we became an independent nation. I know that the journals of the continental congress would be intersting to some students.

    I thought this video might be helpful to show students more about using search engines and how to best utilize them to get information. When looking for primary or government docuements, I thought this video could be a starting point for students to start their research. It's very simple explanation for students.

    This site explains disasters of all kids. It focuses on weather. hiss site would be useful when teaching weather and getting kids to understand the different aspects of weather. It's also good to know about the different kinds of disasters so you can be prepared! Kids love learning about different disasters they are unfamiliar with.

    This is a gov doc for the Federal Emergency Management Agency. It is geared for elementary age students with games and activities to learn how to prepare for and prevent disasters. There is a section for parent and teacher resources.

    This site gives information about Federal Emergency Management Agency. It provides links to games and interactive sites that help kids understand the agency, what it does, types of weather emergencies and how to be prepared for weather emergencies. This would be a good addition/extension to a weather unit in 3rd-5th science curriculum.

    An animated site geared toward elementary students with information on FEMA. Includes follow up quizzes, template for planning family disaster drills and an interactive map showing current FEMA efforts in U. S. disaster areas. Good companion to current events and science.

    This site has almost anything one would want having to do with the United States government. It is one of the most extensive sites relating to the U.S. government. It has information for students as low as kindergarten and as high as seniors. It seems rare to find a site that truely covers this range of ages as well as this one does. For the elementary teacher and the high school history teacher this will be a helpful site to use.

    This is one of the most active sites I have checked out. I think it has a little bit of everything for everyone. It has information on just about any topic one would want to check out. It has beginning of the year activities. It has helpful worksheets and ideas for things from social studies to English to science. It is a great site to check out. If it has an activity for one grade there is probably a way to adapt to another or from topic to topic as well.

    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.

    I really like this site. It has information on the current Iditarod dog race in Alaska. There are blogs you can follow and a special "Teacher on the Trail" section that is specific to helping classes follow the race, and understand it. There is a reading project, a writing to the mushers project, and virtual field trips.

    This site is arranged by historical eras. It is easy to also search by keywords. Its purpose is to help student develop historical thinking skills. It also has a creation tool where teachers can make their own interactive activities to go with the documents. To access this you do have to create an account.

    This site offers readers a chance to hear the voices of people the history textbooks have traditionally left out. Interviews done in the 1930's with former slaves are transcribed on this site, some with photographs of the former slave included. The transcripts are difficult to read because of dialect, racial slurs, and some troubling content. With teacher assistance, though, I think these transcripts could help students better understand life for slaves in our country's history.
  • Laura Horn on 26 Sep 10
     
    This site provides first-person accounts from former slaves. I have actually used this site in American Literature to show students what slaves went through. It gives them a voice and students have really connected with the slaves' stories. Students can find lots of material about slavery, but the first-person accounts make it much more personal.

    This site has the math vocabulary for math that is in the NeSA Math test in April. You need to give 3 to 6 words a week. Have students write the definitions and an example for each word.

    Some key primary sources regarding the Vietnam War are included on the site along with some helpful suggestions for teachers. There are quite a few interesting reflections on the war and information from "the trenches" included on this site as well.

    This site would be extremely useful for history teachers when teaching about Vietnam. There are letters, maps, as well as first-person accounts from people who were in Vietnam.
