History Help
When teaching history it is important to make sure your knowledge is accurate so you do not look like a clown in front of your students. Also, it is important to show your students short videos dealing with your topic. Therefore, the History Channel website is great for this. It provides videos dealing with famous speeches, U.S history, world history, military war, explorations, society and culture. With being a history major this site has come in handy a few times. I have used clips from the site for teaching a lesson and for presentations for class. The site is very easy to use and you can search just about anything you are interested in. Another good thing about the site, you can create an account very easily and purchase any movie that he history channel has ever played. This is great for history teachers because you can start building a collection of great films to show your students.

I checked out the website and clicked on the History's Mysteries tab. The tab directed me to a bunch of cool resources. For example, there was a section about the history of Halloween. That is something that I am sure my middle school kids will want to know. It also had a section on the Da Vinci code. I thought this was cool because the movie has recently come out and I am sure lots of students would have questions about what was real or false in the film. All in all I think it was a great web-site and I will surely use it in the future.
