Good Stuff

Have You Seen These Websites?


Arkive
It contains information about endangered animals. These entries are wikis, but once they 
have been vetted, their status will state this (so you can get into explaining authoritative 
sources). The site is searchable by animal, age of students, eco region, endangered status, 
etc. Photos and videos accompany most entries.
Docsteach
This site “brings history to life” by pairing primary source documents from the National 
Archives with lesson plans. Teachers can create their own original activities or use 
activities developed by others. Activities are browsable by historical era, historical thinking 
skill or tool.
Iwitness
This video library, co-sponsored by the Shoah Foundation, contains more than 1,000 video 
testimonies of survivors and other witnesses of the Holocaust. Videos are searchable by 
subject area (such as Bystanders, Forced Labor, and Ghetto Life). Activities on the site 
are searchable by subject area, standards addressed, and length of time needed to 
complete activity.
