World History
I learned about the Global Voices blogger page from the book I am currently reading, the Net Delusion (hey I try to look at both sides of the Internet and the book explorers if technology really fuels revolution as well as the negatives of the Internet). At any rate Global Voices was started by a CNN reporter, but it is an aggregate of stories from 300 bloggers (sort of a Lede on steorids) which the page claims to be an alternative to what you see in traditional news (or e-) papers. It's worth a look if you like connecting your world history classes to the present.
