Teaching History with web 2.0

HS history curriculum using web 2.0 sites that are free! go look at

http://www.xtimeline.com/index.aspx - let's students make timelines and export to excel

http://quizlet.com/ have the students make flashcards together in groups

http://www.google.com/googlenotebook/tour1.html to keep and share notes

http://micdsus.squarespace.com/course-description/ An adventure in US history

the goal is to have students to think critically and verbally, articulate and visually presented
do you want to have a online collaborative course?

http://www.peopleaggregator.net/homepage.php start a social network for your classes . you are the administrator

wiki's for subject topics. students post continously

use audacity or garageband to create podcasts

http://www.gogofrog.com/vtrcomau/ have student's create museums about their subject area

Thought for the day
How does exploration of a frontier change the world and change the explorer? Think about the frontier being the internet and you being the explorer?

Thanks for the links, I especially like the web based timeline link. Do you know how to eliminate the "Next Blog" default link at the top of all blogger blogs? It can send viewers to some unexpected places, and I fear potential problems down the road.

I thought that was a great link. We no longer have to worry about what kids have at home on their computers when making assignments.

I will look into it
