Tennessee Encyclopedia

Posted in history

"The Tennessee Encyclopedia of History and Culture is an amazing collaboration of almost 550 authors who have created the first updated, comprehensive study of Tennessee history since 1960. In the years since 1960 thousands of books, articles, theses, dissertations have been written about Tennessee history and culture; new research fields have been opened while others have been more fully explored; and new collections of primary sources have been discovered and stored away at an increasing number of archival collections, historic sites, museums, and research libraries across the state. As the bicentennial of 1996 approached, all of this new scholarship was ready to be mined, analyzed, and condensed into a single volume representing the present generation's summation of an entire century worth of research and historiography."  visit Tennessee Encyclopedia.net

This sounds like a great resource for our Tennessee history classes!

Afri-Cam

Posted in geography

Africam is a live-stream from a video camera on an African game reserve. Now there are a couple different ways to view the live-stream.  It's so much fun to see the actual wild life as they are and what they are doing RIGHT NOW.

Click the Africam link to get started.

Enjoy! ~Betsy
