THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION
http://timeline.americanrevolutioncenter.org/
- Students can select an event in the timeline. They can record and audio podcast that explains the event in greater details.
- Students can find additional images for a particular event and create a digital story that documents the event.
- Students can develop a narrative that places them at the event. Speaking in the first person they can write about what an individual who was at the event experienced. This can be created into a digital story as well.
- Using Google Earth students can create an interactive tour of these events. They can highlight battle grounds and points of interest. Each marked point can contain text, images, narration or links to additional content.

THE WEEK IN RAP
http://theweekinrap.com/
This is a great alternative tool for teaching current events. It may be a great end of the week activity.
1. Link to this in a Moodle discussion and ask students to respond to a question regarding it.
2. Have students develop a blog posting reflecting on these events using Ning, a wiki, Moodle, Google Doc, or traditional journal.
3. Have students create their own music video that discusses a global issue. Use this as an example.
