Great Interactive Map Review
This site asks you a world history question and then the student has to answer it by finding the place on the map. Incredible! It also is timed so the student has to really know their stuff.

Transcribe Your Voice Into a Student Text Message
Yes, you heard it. You can use this free service to record a message for your students which will then be converted into a text message. If your parents are wary of giving a phone number to this site, you can always use the post a couple of days ago where I showed you how to e-mail a text message (and for that matter students can text you back to your e-mail!).

AP World Teacher Moodle Page
First off, Moodle is an open resource page for teachers to use for their classes. It is similar to Blackboard, but it is free. You can put assignments, links, folders, etc. there. If you are like me it will make your life infinitely easier as students can print out their own assignments or see what they have to do on a day they missed.

Here is an excellent example of what a teacher can do. This is an AP World history teacher's page and it includes links for the class free response rubrics, review quizzes for each unit, study guides, and review Power Points. It is excellent.
