Here is one on the dangers of traveling while African American during the Civil Rights Era. I have quite few I plan to use in my class (Kelly) ]]> 2019-02-17 00:15:09 UTC https://padlet.com/sherri_lancton/6kyupv18hauf/wish/332051930 kelly_langleycook https://padlet.com/sherri_lancton/6kyupv18hauf/wish/332052137 At  minute 17:00 you can watch a very interesting video on a Jim Crow era "museum." This clip is also super useful because it compares the LGBTQ rights movement and persecution to Jim Crow... I think this will be great for class discussion. (Kelly) ]]> 2019-02-17 00:18:34 UTC https://padlet.com/sherri_lancton/6kyupv18hauf/wish/332052137 kelly_langleycook https://padlet.com/sherri_lancton/6kyupv18hauf/wish/332052250 I also wanted to post this hauntingly beautiful audio by Billie Holiday. A song about lynching. The scratchy record sound and quality of her voice are as important as the words! What a cool thing for a tech-driven online class!

The videos on history manage to be clear while embracing the complexity of topics like the early development of Judaism.

Wikimedia Commons also has images organized into helpful categories (like sorcery).

They do such a . great job of breaking down basic biology and ecology concepts, from meiosis to speciation forces, and the animations are adorable.]]> 2019-02-28 19:52:41 UTC https://padlet.com/sherri_lancton/6kyupv18hauf/wish/336613535 https://padlet.com/sherri_lancton/6kyupv18hauf/wish/336615649 In lieu of having infinite money and resources to have a thousand fossils to show every student, eFossils is an amazing online resource! Students can play by site or species and see the bones in really high resolution, plus read about each fossil as they are exploring.

They have a wonderful page that contains background information about founders of the US - what I really love is that it contains men AND women, not just the typical "founding fathers." There are also interactive options for students. My favorite is one that shows images that change based on which "rights" were to go away. It's a great way for students to get a visual of how Revolutionary period concerns and establishments continue to impact their lives.

It also contains the historical background of each, to help them situation it in the past, as well.

That is especially true of his documentary "The West" which has a lot of incredible information and images about not only the American settlement of the West, but its indigenous peoples as well. I particularly love this episode, which does a wonderful job discussing the cultures of the first people of the Americas and initial European encounters.
