This is a really unique website that lets students chat with historical figures throughout history using AI. This website uses gbt-4 to bring historical figures to life and make conversations feel real. Some figures student can chat with include Cleopatra and Mahatma Gandhi.

This website could be used with prompts, that the students need to discuss with the chatbot, after they can research the facts. This can open the class to interesting discussions of the reliability of AI and ChatGPT!

This is a bit of a fun website that lets students sculpt historical pottery. The first pot is a Terracotta amphora (jar) that is based on an ancient Greek pot. This could be used in the lessons before starting topics on archeology or Greek history.

This is a fantastic resource not just for History, but for any subject looking to include First Nation perspectives into your classroom. The layout is immersive and includes timelines, videos, additional links and is free with an account (courses not included). The website includes links to courses for teachers and downloadable PDF's if needed. This is a resource I have used in my placements when teaching deep time history in year 9.

This is a fantastic resource created by the National Museum of Australia.

MindMeister is an online collaborative tool that allows teachers to create a digital mind map. This website is easy to use and web-based. It provides an infinite canvas for brainstorming, note taking, project planning and countless other creative tasks.

One feature of this website is that many people can contribute to the program all at once, and it is perfect for visualising and communicating concepts to students. This tool would be ideal throughout a unit, and a great exit activity could be for all students to add a post to the mind map.
