Free Technology for Teachers: The Civil War in Four Minutes
a good four minute visual overview of the US Civil War
Free Technology for Teachers: This Day in History Videos
The videos provide a quick overview of three to five items of historical significance from that day. The videos appear to be produced in one large lot so you can view videos from the entire week prior to a date. For example I've already watched tomorrow's "this day in history" video.
Applications for Education
If you need a quick warm-up or closing activity for your history lesson, these videos may be just what you've been looking for.
Free Technology for Teachers: Build a Pyramid
Applications for Education
Pyramid Builder and the BBC's Ancient Egyptian History feature in general are excellent resources for World History students to explore. The Pyramid Builder and the Mummy Maker could both be used as informal assessment tools after students have read about and researched these topics.
Educational Videos for Kids about Science, Math, Social Studies and English
Here’s the best selection of FREE online educational videos and lessons from all over the Internet.
1968
Who better than AARP to present a multimedia overview of 1968 "The Year That Rocked Our World"? Even if some of us don't want to admit it, 1968 is history now, and current students have a fascination for this time period. This site contains a very comprehensive interactive timeline, with an event for nearly every day of that tumultuous year. The "Pop Quiz" is based on the timeline and could be a good follow-up exercise to a small group review of the timeline.
Free Technology for Teachers: Lesson Plans from the US Department of State
US Department of State has a website called Future State, US Department of State for Youth. On this site teachers can find lesson plans for teaching topics such as the Cuban Missile Crisis and US involvement in Vietnam. In the "fun activities" section of Future State students can choose from seven different activities including word searches, match the flag, and Where in the World Is the Secretary of State?
Applications for Education
Future State could be a good resource for teachers of elementary and middle school civics. The Where in the World is the Secretary activity could be adapted for use offline if you don't have enough computers for your students. The same activity could also be improved by having students record their findings on a Google Map instead of on a piece of paper as the Future State website suggests.
