Hey there, /r/AskHistorians. Question's basically right there on the tin, but to provide a bit of a background:
In the fall, I'll be teaching history courses in a school network that places heavy emphasis on the use of technology in the classroom. While some things are readily available - such as YouTube or historical documentaries on Prime or Netflix - others are well-hidden websites, gifs, videos, or online tools that supplement the teaching of history in the classroom. (For example, I recently discovered MapStory, the greatest advantage of which - to my job - is the ability to build my own.)
Since I imagine that some of you - if not most of you - are or have been educators at the college or high school level, are there any tools or sites that you would suggest I use in my classroom?
Note: for your references, I'm teaching both US and World History this semester, as well as implementing at least one junior/senior AP course next year.
Mods - if this is not in the best of places for this, please let me know! I apologize for any inconvenience.
Since you specified using technology, here are some websites/groups of websites for history resources that I've come across(warning: a very middle-east centric list):
http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/-the databases tend to be very iffy(they work better on firefox) but a lot of the portal websites offer very good overviews and introductions to important topics in the history of Mesopotamia and an impressive collection of primary sources, plus bibliographies for further research. The website Etana is also good for this stuff, but more of the stuff on Etana is paywalled and it's a little older.
http://www.sasanika.org/-a general resource on Iranian late antiquity. This site puts a number of excellent translations of primary sources, lectures, bibliographic materials, and so on into one place.
Digitized manuscripts(a lot of sites for this; the Walters Art Museum has a very large chunk of their collection digitzed as does the Morgan Library; in addition the British Library has a lot of digitized manuscripts available online for free at http://www.bl.uk/manuscripts/ and much of the BnF's manuscript collection can be viewed at http://gallica.bnf.fr/?lang=EN); a lot of these are of great historical interest and available online for free study. You could for instance look in class at manuscripts related to the time and place you're covering; you could also for example have as an assignment students pick a manuscript that interests them and do a brief research project on it.
Newspapers? I browse old papers on newspapers.com for enjoyment. Slave ads, Civil war news, prohibition, etc. You can make it your local paper for added interest.
