This idea has been mooted a few times before, but I though I'd try and get it sorted for once and for all!

Many forum members have excellent websites, some of which are linked from the top of the page and some of which aren't. What would be really helpful is if we could compile a list of teacher run websites WITH (and this is the important bit!) a brief description of what was there. I was thinking of something along the lines of

URL: www.coolhistory.co.uk
RUN BY: Dave Stacey
AIMED AT: KS3 and 4 pupils and History Teachers
CONTAINS:

• Links, games and activities for year 8 and 9 pupils
  
• Resources and notes to support WJEC GCSE (Germany 1919-45; USA 1929-90; China 1949-76)
  
• Resources and lesson plans for teachers, including a materials for teaching Curriculum Cymraeg

Once we've got the details, I'll compile a list in a similar way to the excellent Visual and Audio Sources Links. It may well be that there are other (better?) ways to present this information. Any comments on this are most welcome.

So - if you've got a website (or several), then could you add your details below.

Thanks!

Blimey. There's a blast from the past.

To try and bring this up to date (and to give me an excuse to try it out) I've created a group on the social bookmarking site Diigo. I've tried to move over the sites that still seem to be live, and with relatively new content, apologies if I've missed anyone.

It's free to join, both the site and the group, so If I've missed your site, haven't done a very good job of explaining it (I should be writing reports at the moment!) or know a site that should be there, please feel free to add it there, or send me a message and I'll add it.

Hopefully this will become another useful resource to compliment what's going on here, share some good ideas and prevent any unnecessary wheels being invented!

You can find the group's bookmarks here - http://groups.diigo....istory/bookmark

My class website is

It's a free service for teachers. I post announcements, assignments, etc. I can also upload powerpoints (some of which are from schoolhistory) and the students particularly like the photo albums, which I try and keep updated.

This is the frame I've designed GCSE Course around. We've only just started this course in Sept and this represents something I've been wanting to complete for a long time.

It would have not gotten off the ground without the advice and ideas from contributors to this Forum.

Many thanks,
