Digital History - Wow!

"Using new technologies to enhance teaching and research."  This is what the Digital History website says and the site does have extensive resources for teaching history.
http://www.digitalhistory.uh.edu/resource_guides/default.cfm

Keeping it simple.

This screen shot of the website shows how uncluttered the site is.  The navigation bar on the left side offers "for teachers" with links to exploration, handouts, learning modules, lesson plans, and resource guides.


  •  You can also explore resources by period.
  • History lovers and teachers will like the extensive resources.
Some parts of the site are still under construction but I think you will find an abundance of quality information here.  Click through the site.  There is so much more than I have mentioned.

One thing teachers struggle with is getting students to properly cite internet resources.  This site shares the proper way to site the website.
