Social Studies Online is an innovative project that emphasizes the use of technology to deliver the Tennessee social studies curriculum for grades K-8.
Although this site is geared towards Tennessee, much of the content will align to standards in other states.
WolframAlpha offers some pretty neat widgets in various content areas. These could be useful to embed in a class website or just to share with your students during class. Definitely check it out.
I think I may have posted this before, but I’m not sure and it doesn’t hurt to repost anyway! SnagFilms has just added new videos, as well. They have full-length films in all subject areas, sometimes on topics you may have trouble finding films on elsewhere.
Thanks Free Tech for Teachers for pointing out their video update.

A blog post from History Tech describing Mission US, an educational history game.
“From the award-winning PBS series American Experience comes
We Shall Remain, a provocative multi-media project that establishes Native history as an essential part of American history.”
Thanks goes to Larry Ferlazzo for sharing this.

Mapeas provides news videos from around the world. Of course, lots of sites do this.
Mapeas is different, though, because the video links are located on a Google Map — you go to the geographical area of the world you want, and you click on the links located there.

Thanks museummuse for submitting this resource.
If It Were My Home, Show World, and BBC’s Dimensions are all great resources, particularly to spark discussion/make comparisons in the social studies classroom. I may have posted a couple of these individually before, but a reminder doesn’t hurt :)
Thanks @shannonmmiller for this resource.
Thanks, Larry Ferlazzo, for all of your wonderful resources.
About
Who I am: A fourth year high school history teacher at an urban(ish) high school in New Jersey.
What I blog about: Stuff related to education I like, and stuff I hope can help other teachers out. Technology, deals on supplies, helpful books. My focus lately is on educational technology & related resources. Occasionally, I also post things related to education reform. Because I post articles that I feel will be of interest to teachers with varying views, the political-related posts made here do not necessarily reflect my beliefs or opinions, nor do they reflect the beliefs of my employer.
What I like learning & reading about: Other teacher's opinions about and experiences with teaching & education. How I can enrich my classroom and reach out to my students. If you write about this stuff, let me know, because I probably want to read it.
What you should submit: Anything that could help a teacher.
