This blog's editor is a current AP U.S. history teacher and posts topics on both history and teaching. There is also a link to his other website that is about soldier's stories in the Civil War. The blog provides useful information that can be used as references to lesson plan as well as help critically analyze the world around us.

An amazing source for declassified United States' documents that could easily be used for primary sources in a modern U.S. or world history classes. These could be used for a in-class debate as the National Security Archive houses many documents on very controversial issues in history. I would also highly recommend looking through them to provide yourself with different prospectives as a future teacher.

This website contains a huge amount of information for teachers ranging from news on policy issues, blogs, a job search feature, a section on technology in schools, and a curriculum/lesson plan section. I would highly recommend exploring all the different tabs at the top of the webpage as well as the subsections.

This is a very interesting blog that posts information on presidents as well as those who worked with them such as JFK's speech writer. The blog contains information that is usually not included in history textbooks and could used to provide different perspectives on presidents. It also would be a great way to make presidents come alive to students, since the blog contains personal information on the presidents.

An interesting video that would be a good way to get students thinking about what happens to the electronic waste from all the technology in their lives. It would be a good starting for a project similar to the one we did in HIST100 and could work well with modern U.S. or world history as well as a political science/government classes.
