brokenworld - A Broken World
Grade 9 students in Clay Burell's world history class at Korea International School created this multimedia wiki textbook covering world history from World War I to World War II and the beginnings of the Cold War. It was created in June 2007. I am open to allowing expansion, editing, fact-checking, mash-ups, and any other possibilities suggested by any interested parties.

Digital Harlem :: Everyday Life 1915-1930
WELCOME
The Digital Harlem website presents information, drawn from legal records, newspapers and other archival and published sources, about everyday life in New York City's Harlem neighborhood in the years 1915-1930.
The panel on the left allows you to search for events, people or places, and generate interactive web maps based on the search results. Multiple layers of results can be displayed on the same map, and each can be toggled on and off. A legend identifying the symbols used on the map can be found to the right. Clicking on a symbol on the map will open a window containing further information about that item. A series of ready-made 'feature' maps can be accessed from the panel on the right.
For more information on Harlem, and the Sources used in this site, and About the project of which it is part, How to conduct searches and create maps, and the Feature maps we have created, click on the buttons above the map.
A more detailed, illustrated guide to how to use the site is available on the Digital Harlem blog. Updates, news and feedback, can also be found on the blog

TwHistory
Welcome to TwHistory. We believe that history is filled with exciting stories. We also believe that these stories can be told through Twitter; through the people who lived and experienced them. We go through journals, diaries, letters, and other original sources to deliver the day-to-day lives of people who lived through some of histories most exciting times. We broadcast this information through Twitter, and feel this is a new and exciting approach to understanding history. Instead of reading about a month-long campaign in a few hours, you experience it over the course of a month in small 140 character ‘Tweets’.
Virtual Field Trips | SimpleK12
A virtual field trip takes students on a tour of a location using a series of web sites that have been linked together, creating a guided experience.
Since they do not require special software, they can be accessed from a classroom or home computer. Virtual field trips can enhance the content of a lesson by providing an activity that extends students' experiences with a topic by taking them outside of the classroom and into a different environment.
