Assignment #3

For my Toolbox I used Diingo.

I chose many sites that directly relate to history. Such as AmericanHeritage.com, American Quarterly, Online newspapers (New York Times, Wall Street Journal), and sites that provide further education and history websites.

I then separated the sites into folders depending of area of content (online news papers, online journals, reference, and education).

I believe i will continue to utilize this toolbox in the future, if not another, to assist in gathering useful sites. I like how I am able to have a tool bar to give easy access to my box.

I can share it by providing a hyperlink on current/future blogs.


American Heritage
This site contains everything the journal has plus more. You can look at old articles, sister journals, blogs and more. It has easy online access for all viewers. The resources on this site can be easily used in a classroom. They can help look at different historical perspectives, and spark discussion in the classroom.

Site For Teachers
This website contains a collection of useful sites for educators. It provides links to help with lesson plane, actual lesson plans, graphics, and so much more. All the sites range from K-12. for example there is a math worksheet site specifically for high school, or one for clip art.

PBS
This is a fantastic site. It contains a link for PBS for Teachers. It contain resources for grade levels and subject matter. Teachers can register and become part of a community within PBS along with other teachers.

I can use all these resources as a teacher. As a history teachers American Heritage will be a valuable tool, not to mention that I can subscribe to the actual periodical to have in the classroom. The Sites for Teachers site is very useful as well, containing multiple resources for all areas of education. PBS will be one of the top sites utilized as an educator. The help and resources I take advantage of will be priceless.
