I dont know if anyone has already listed this site here, but this is a very good resource for History on European explorers who came to India. It is called THE EUROPE-INDIA MARITIME HISTORY PROJECT (which seems to include Indians too as seen in the 'interviewees' list).

I liked the timeline section. The Internet Resources section also has many good history websites listed.

(I was not able to visit educatorslog regularly - nice to see lots of new posts and links and videos and people. I liked the ideas for geography with Google Maps and Google earth)

This is a continuation of the thread on technology tools for Geo Education initiated in the previous post where I discussed Google Maps in the classroom. read more

Imagine a History assignment where a student must submit a write-up on Mughal Architecture (or the form it takes as an oft-asked question in exams - "the contributions of Shah Jahan to Indian Archtecture"). Or a "project" on the temples of India. Think of the way this is usually done - a hand-written write-up with pictures cut and pasted into the notebook. Or in schools where students have access to computers this would take the form of a Word document with text and images or perhaps a powerpoint presentation with text and images. read more

A new and unique translation in Hindi of the ancient Indian Rig Veda (ऋग्वेद) has recently been published - the first volume of a four-part series.

I had commented earlier that I had found very good youtube videos on Partition, on the same page as the Last Days of the Raj videos that I read about in educatorslog 'Share'. It was suggested that I provide some extra information like the web link to the video (which I have pasted in the Related link) and put this information up as a separate posting.Hope I am doing this correctly as this is my first time submitting on this website.

As I mentioned earlier, this is a very well made documentary made by BBC and is called Partition - The Day India Burned. read more

It's amazing what all one can find on YouTube today! And all for free :)

History teachers now have another amazing resource for teaching British Rule in India and to show students a film besides "Gandhi"!

I stumbled upon this fascinating 'drama-documentary' (or 'docudrama') - "The Last Days of The Raj" made in Britain last year (to mark 60 years of India's Independence). It has been put up on youtube in 9 parts (each is about 8-10 minutes). read more

Anjum recently posted this fantastic resource here called Cyberschoolbus on the UN website.

I was exploring the Cyberschoolbus site and thought I'd highlight some amazing ready-to-use curriculum units that have been shared on that website. Some are aimed at middle and high school (ages 12-18) while others are for ages 10-18. read more
