Introduce this site on your interactive whiteboard or projector. Then have students explore this site independently or in small groups. Have each group read and interpret individual sections on this site - making sure every group has a different one. The intentions of this will be to have students analyze this information and present it to their peers to "teach" each other. The text portions are challenging, so you should pair weaker readers with a partner as they research on this site. To show what they have learned from this site, challenge students to create an online interactive infographic to share using Visme, or an interactive timeline using Timeliner.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

This site truly is an interdisciplinary webpage and can be used to supplement lectures in many classrooms. After introducing this site, allow student pairs, groups, or individuals to explore and find an area of interest. Then extend student learning by asking them to do some research to see what more they can learn about their area of interest and have them create a Google Drawing. Google Drawings allows you to annotate an image with links to videos, text, websites, and more. Not familiar with Google Drawings?
