Weekly find

So this week as I was looking for a good history source with technology I stumbled upon teaching history with technology. This website offers a ton of useful information. On the left hand side there are a links to different podcasts, webquests, wikis, lesson plans and much more. I thought that not only was it useful to have the links to such technologies but each link also teaches you how to use the specific technology. For example if you click on webquests it brings you here. On this link it tells you that webquests were first developed by Bernie Dodge in San Diego State University in 1995 and have grown tremendously worldwide. It then links you to his two websites with webquests and then explains what a webquest is and how it can be applied in a classroom. It is a really great website. Hope this helps someone I know I plan to investigate further to see what it has to offer.
