Teacher TubeAndrea Poffinberger
====**This website provides great videos to strengthen student understanding by actually witnessing a real event such as Martin Luther King Jr's I have a Dream speech. Finding older information is a big difficult as video has not been available to capture all important events. If there is a semi-current or current video of a president or other such famous person, this site would be a definite must use!~Jaime Binning** ====

National Science FoundationAndrea Poffinberger
==**This resource has a multimedia gallery. It seemed to be better suited for upper level learners. The website does have things appropriate for younger learners, you just have to sift through some things. I found a cool link about a prehistoric snake found in 2009. I think that some of the information on this website would be appropriate for some primary students. I think the teacher would have to navigate because the website had alot of information and it took a little while for me to make my way through it. Overall I felt it was a good source of information for science related documents, videos and othe information.**==

Saudi Aramco World
====Saudi Aramco World is a magazine that comes out every other month. It is made to increase cross-cultural understanding and broaden knowledge of the cultures, history, and geography of the Arab and Muslim worlds and their connection to the west. I could see this being used as a resources for someone looking at the current life of a Muslim or Arab. ====

Annenberg Foundation
====Upon reviewing this resource I found it to be extremely vauable for just about any course you could teach. This resource is filled with information on a variety of topics and the information is expressed in a variety of different manners. As for potential primary sources I found journals, documentaries, maps and photographs just to name a few. There are many interactive areas to this resource as well which I think would be very benefical to students studying a topic within the classroom. Andrea Poffinberger==== ====I have used Annenberg for years and love what it has to offer. After perusing the site for a while, the information I found most valuable for this course and for teaching how to use primary sources is an interactive lesson titled Evaluating Evidence (address:==== []). It might take a while and maybe students should work in groups to complete it, but it takes students through a variety of sources and through the process of evaluation taking into account bias, relliability and credibilty of sources.

In the First Person
====After reviewing this resource it is clear there is a ton of information available, much of which are primary resources. This source provides letters, memoirs, documents, diaries and personal accounts of many historical happenings throughout society. For the most part the subject matter available within this source pertains to history and social sciences. I did however find some information which could be used with a variety of other subject matters including english and sciences. Andrea Poffinberger====

The New York Public Library

Colleen Davies
====This is an incredible resource that I did not even consider! The New York Public Library has a wealth of information including manuscripts and photographs housed in its archives. It appears that the primary sources are housed in the library, but an individual can search and locate what is available online. I found some amazing photographs that would apply to various subject matters ranging from Spaldings baseball photos to photos of Japan in the 1800s. These are incredible primary sources!====

I have never heard of this source before. The Bancroft Library houses resources for UC Berkley. There are some unique primary resources for various subject matters ranging from Jewish Art and Life to the relocation of Japanese Americans. There is a plethora of primary sources that are available online including documents and photographs. There is a great collection of resources that documents the development of California dating back to the 1700s up until modern day. The maps and photographs are wonderful! Thank you for sharing this source! • Myronda Schiding

The first couple sentences, “ The Bancroft Library is the primary special collections library at the University of California, Berkeley. One of the largest and most heavily used libraries of manuscripts, rare books, and unique materials in the United States”, show how great a resource this is. I cannot believe the wealth of information it holds, with more than 600,000 volumes, 60,000,000 manuscript items, 8,000,000 photographs, 43,000 microforms, and 23,000 maps. I checked out the Western Americana collection, which I found to be very interesting learning about the gold rush. Anthony Barbato

**Colleen Davies**
The website is a comprehensive review of various historical aspects of Colonial Williamsburg. There are digital archives and a guide for what to look for when visiting Williamsburg. The interesting piece of this particular website is that Williamsburg itself is like a 3-dimensional primary source that an individual can visit and interact with. This source has an architectural guide for various aspects of architecture to be examined and analyzed. The digital archives provide pieces of art and maps from Williamsburg and the time period. While this source provides primary sources specific to Williamsburg, it would be an excellent comparison with another colonial city. • Myronda Schiding

I really like this resources. It is very indepth and also for all age groups, which I found very interesting as a Kindergarten teacher. You are able to learn about the archaeology as well as the architecture. The website breaks down what archaeology is for younger students and has reports and articles for people doing research. I found it very interesting and also would be a great primary resources.=====

Immigration Nationality Interviews
This internet link through the Library of Congress provides many interviews for immigrants. You are able to select from a drop-down menu which region of the world you would like to focus on. After selecting a region, you are presented with a few interviews from immigrants from the area chosen. This would be a great resource for a first hand account of immigration. ~Jaime Binning
 * ==Anthony Barbato==

I found this to be a very cool site for many reasons. You have first hand interviews of people who immigrated to the US - primary source. What I found most interesting is that this seems to be an interactive site to which a variety of people have contributed. I read three interviews. The first was conducted by a fifth grader, the second by an eleventh grader and the third by an educator. Showing this to students would give them the power and knoweledge that they can "do" history now and impact people later on.

==United Streaming United Streaming also known as Discovery Education Streaming is a wonderful source for videos and lessons about any topic or concept you could imagine. I really great feature is that the videos are broken into grade level appropriate so it is easier for teachers to sift through and find the right fit for their classroom. This resource also allows you to download the entire video or video segments which is a great teaching tool. This allows you as the teacher to not show the entire video when you only need a small part here or there. As far as primary sources you can find interviews with people on a variety of topics in these videos. I found some excellent health videos with real-life interviews which could be beneficial to my classroom. -Andrea Poffinberger==

PBS Teachers
====When first entering the PBS site, I was glad to see across the top navigation bar, it was broken into grade areas. It is definitely easier as a primary teacher to find sources more fitting of my grade than to have to sift through the troves of information for all grade levels. I found the site easy to navigate. However, using the search option provided better results than just surfing. I am not sure of how many primary sources are actually on the PBS site, but I was linked to several items that I searched through the site. For instance, Lewis and Clark's journals were accessible. I think this site would be a great beginning tool to link to primary sources.~Jaime Binning====
 * ==Anthony Barbato==

I also liked the ease of using the PBS website. It was clear and easy for me to understand and navigate I also liked how within your grade level it is broken down into subject areas. That will make the searching easier for a teacher that is looking for something specific. Some of the searches I did for Audio came up no match. I may have to spend some more time searching for audio on this site. I also like that it has other resources for teachers. I liked the Looking For Lincoln lesson plan. It has many objects and artifacts to be used with the lesson. It is all right there and is easy to access. I think this site has some helpful information for primary sources. Shelley Ruhlman

[|American Rhetoric]
This site is an online speech bank. It says it has more than 5000 speeches to view. It centers on politics and entertainment. Many presidential speeches and interviews are available. I really liked that it also had transcripts with the speeches because then the students can look deeper into the meaning behind the speech or time in history. It even has many Obama speeches. I feel that students would like to hear some of the audio from famous speeches such as MLK and JFK.

[|Harry S. Truman Library and Museum]
One of the best things about this site is the Political Cartoons and Teaching with Political Cartoons page. So often in social studies education teaching political cartoons (another valuable primary source) is neglected. They are important in nuturing our students critical thinking skills. I like that it gives lessons that you could modify for your own needs. There are also important documents relating to Truman's presidency and legacy that students could explore and use in their research.
