If you follow this blog, you know I found out about Qwiki a couple of years ago. They used to have a browser on their homepage, but after coupling with Bing, they took it down. It though is a great tool for your student as it incorporates video, a written description and pictures for pretty much anything you will be discussing. Since there is no longer a search engine, just type something you want to show your students in a browser and then add the word "Qwiki" and the search tool will appear. If you want to create your own, go to the Qwiki site, create a free account and go to town. Above is a Qwiki on Otzi the Iceman which we studied today.
This is a webpage written by high school teachers for those who teach world history and want to find online content as well as technology that you can use in the classroom.
