Internet+Resources


 * Here is a list of helpful websites that can assist you in your historical endeavors:**

[|PBS Online] This is an all-inclusive site where students can find in-depth looks at a wide variety of historical resources. PBS Online is filled with interactive web exhibits, as well as supplemental materials for the TV series that PBS airs on television. Often, there are timelines and glossaries associated with each TV series or aspect of the site. Categories on the site include American History, World History, History on Television, and Biographies.

[|Digital History] On this site, there are over 400 annotated historical documents that students can peruse. There is also a searchable database of 1,500 links, handouts, glossaries, chronologies, and a large audio archive. One of the most interesting aspects of the site is the "Ask the HyperHistorian", where students can ask historical questions to actual historians in the world.

[|History Channel] This site serves as a companion to The History Channel, a well-known TV station. This website is particularly useful for teachers who are looking to supplement a video shown in class with additional resources. There are special exhibits, speech archives, and discussions located throughout the site.

[|Smithsonian Education] The site is broken up into three categories: Educators, Families, and Students. If a student clicked on the Students section of the website, he or she would find a plethora of resources directly relating to special exhibits on display at the Smithsonian Museums in Washington DC. This site is particularly useful for classes that are traveling to the Smithsonian Museums, or for classes that are "virtually" traveling to the museums via the Internet.

[|HyperHistory Online] This site covers 3000 years of world history via timelines, maps, and graphics. Students can search the site under categories such as Science, Religion, Culture, and Politics. This site is an interactive supplement to any world history classroom. A special feature currently on the site compares the Great Depression of the 1930s to the depression that happened in 2008 in the United States.
