Great online resources - E-Learning Resources



The History Teachers’ Association may be interested in a new free resource called the **Atlas of New South** **Wales** (http://atlas.nsw.gov.au) This site aims to be a one-stop-shop for all sorts of information about New South Wales, including thehistory of European settlement. Included in the Atlas is a new interactive mapping tool which allows the user to scroll forward and backward through time (use the scroll bar at the top of this map). The **Change Map** button at the top left of the screen allows you to see other maps, including more historical datasets. //__**Kate's Resources**__// Kate emailed me (Julian) a bunch of resources that are great. I'll leave them here and Kate can give info and move them around when she is ready media type="file" key="EQUALS.flv" width="360" height="270"

__**Ancient Societies**__
There are some really good teaching resources for Ancient Greece on this web site. Hope you all find them useful. []

Mr. Donn - fantastic overview on Ancient societies, though this extends to the modern period. I think the focus is primarily on the British perspective for the later historical periods 8/

Also here is the NOVA website. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/ancient/expedition-punt.html Okay, so this site does stuff for all disciplines, not just history. I think the focus (for the historical component) is primarily the ancient world, but you'll have to go and creep on the site 8D.

__**Modern Societies**__
This is a very detailed website focused on **Gallipoli**. It includes an interactive Gallipoli landing, an overview of the campaign, profiles of soldier (which includes some primary diary entries and photos), as well as video and audio of historians and veterans. []

Love Annette =)

This site is FANTASTIC for primary source material in Stage 4/5 history. http://www.pictureaustralia.org/ I use it for source analysis in Australian history.

__**Excellent History Resources**__

1. Great History Resource Website Created by a NSW History Teacher. It has sections for most topics from Year 8 through to Year 12 History. It also has info on technology such as wikis and social bookmarking, workshops for teachers and much more. When you go to the site, click on the HISTORY link and that will take you to the year level you want to look at. [|http://www.larkin.net.au/]

2. This is a really good interactive site for Ancient Egypt created by the British Museum. Really good for stage 4 students as a base and the site is really easy to navigate. I used this in an interactive lesson to compliment the lesson i was doing. []

I hope you guys find these as useful as I have.

Hey guys, this is a short youtube clip that I'm planning on showing my year 8 students on Monday, as they begin their study of Medieval Europe. [] Best regards, Melda.

This is a really good site which has many video clips on a number of modern history topics for stages 4 and 5. The clips are linked to the NSW curriculum and have been really useful in my prac lessons. [] Tijana :)

Hey guys :) I found a pretty good website from the History Teachers' Association which includes a whole load of links to some fantastic resources including the Middle Ages and the War Memorial. With the link to the war memorial website, there is an option available for teachers to have a memorial box sent to the school containing all sorts of primary resources which I thought was pretty cool :) http://www.historyteacher.org.au/?page_id=13 Kim :)

Hello everyone!

Below are the links listed for the resources we viewed in class on Friday. Alternatively, you can just type in "Horrible Histories" into the search bar on YouTube and a list will pop up. The resource ranges from Ancient Egypt up to the World Wars. Just be aware, some of the modern sources and events covered are primarily from a British perspective and do not show Australia in any great detail. :) The Ancient sources are for the most part very accurate and do rely on current facts - plus, as we saw in class, they are funny and create! Exactly the type of hook needed to get students engaged in sometimes boring or foreign topics.

Enjoy everyone! Avril

Hey guys, Some of you may already be aware of this but the BBC website has an amazing history section ([]) with a wide range of resources including activities, films and content-based on a range of civilisations, time periods and historical figures in ancient and modern history. I got on to this website whilst looking for stuff on Vikings ([]), but it also has information on Roman, Greek and Egyptian History([]). Its got a good section on the World Wars including the Cold Wars. Its also got a massive database of historical figures, Alexander the Great, Emperor Nero, President Truman and Martin Luther King to name a few

Hi Everyone,

This website: http://www.dipity.com/ Is really useful across the history syllabus for digital timelining. It encourages collaboration and interactivity for all students and the teacher as each person is able to contribute either information, links to resources or even primary sources online and video links. It even has the option to provide a link to a map location e.g. google maps. Over the course of a topic all the information and resources can be located in one place and will be highly useful for an end of topic study resource.

Feel free to try it out! Kathleen
