History Resources for Teachers
- Teaching History
Using the Internet in a K-12 Setting
- An EXCELLENT project modelled on a paper presented by the site's
author at the Computers and History 95 Conference: "Information
Technologies for History Education". Many many ideas as well
as reference materials, hyperlinked and easily followed. Kudos to author
Frans Hoffman.
- Patterns of our Lives: American
History
- One of our in-house resources, this extensive list was created by
metalab's own Kelly Jo Garner. It includes an example project and many
Internet sites to visit.
- Social Science Information
Technology Server
- Access well over 600 comprehensive descriptions
of scientific software programs, and check out their software catalog
with specialized scientific programs.
- Martin Luther King
Jr.
- A new educational Web site from The Seattle Times commemorates the
life of the slain civil-rights leader, including a photo tour of
key events in the fight for civil rights. Timed to coincide with the 10th
anniversary of the national King holiday, the site includes a dialogue
between students in Alabama and Washington states, a quiz and study guide
and sound clips from his speeches.
- Adventure Online
- Incorporates science and social studies into adventure trips --
including a rafting expedition on the Nile, kayaking in Greenland, and --
for the 1998/99 school year, an Artic solo passage by John Waterman.
Students can keep track of the adventurer's progress, learn about the
area, and celebrate their success. A great class project.
- America's Heroes
and You!
- A new curriculum for elementary and middle school
students, focuses on the lives of eleven American heroes to foster
citizenship and offer positive role models for principals, teachers and
students.
