World History
History's Happening. Links to some of the best sites for junior high and high school students who are studying US and World History.
I like this site for several reasons. To begin with, it is organized by category. Hence, it is easy to find sites dealing with different historical themes and time periods. Further, all of the sites have a short description which is always helpful when dealing with a links page. A failure to annotate properly makes several sites similar to this one inferior. And of course, all the sites listed are kid safe which is nice for parents and teachers.
From the site:
My name is Pete Loeser. I live in the small town of Laytonville, which is located in Northern California, about 150 miles north of the city of San Francisco. From there I run an educational consulting business called Loeser Consulting. I retired as a high school teacher after 32 years in the classroom. I taught history at Laytonville High School and later at Willits High School in nearby Willits, California.
I created this page for the use of my history students. I wanted a place for them to do historical research on the web in a controlled atmosphere. Creating it also gave me a chance to learn HTML. I first used a program called HomeSite to create it. I hope you enjoy using it.

- Reminder Texts For Your Students
Three years ago I started telling teachers in my tech integration course about Remind101 so it was kind of cool tonight when I found out a third high school has now shown their entire school the site based on word of mouth that has been passed around...
- Professional Learning Communities
I just taught my department about professional learning communities (PLN) last week and would have loved to have had this webpage from InformEd. PLNs are ways that people find new information beyond their school walls. It begins with...
- Conclusions So Far On Flipping The Classroom
In my 27 high school county, there are only five of us (that I know about) who have tried flipping the classroom. We collaborated and came up with a document that might help those looking to do the same. It includes lessons we have learned,...
