In our home, we're study World History, along with our Canadian and Quebec History curriculum! So I get very excited when I find interactive or module type learning that makes this sometimes 'dull 'subject come alive! This morning, I wanted to share a few sites that I recently discovered that offer videos, images, lesson plans and fantastic interactives for mostly American History!

The first site, that I'm writing about, is about the history of Jamestown in Virginia! Jamestown, which is located on Jamestown Island in the Virginia Colony, was founded on May 13, 1607. It is commonly regarded as the first permanent English settlement in what is now the United States, following several earlier failed attempts! This site will painlessly walk you through the courageous journey of this incredible nation! It's called 'Discovering Jamestown'!

This next site is really exciting! It has everything you could possibly need to teach American History! You'll discover lesson plans, handouts, flash movies, interactive timeline, an online textbook and so very much more! It's all found at 'Digital History'! It's really your 'one stop shop' for American History!

And the last site, is intended for the high school student who is interested in World Cultures, but would be great refresher material for those of us who are a little rusty on our World History! It's called 'World Civilizations'! Some of the links will take you to Washington State University but keep trying! The links that are still active are really worth checking out! Like Ancient Africa and China! Fabulous stuff!
