A relatively new site out there is TimeMaps which uses maps to connect different areas of the world together, puts topics in context, helps give a survey of the western world. There are also different lesson suggestions on the website. So, for example, you could put in the name of the era you want to look at such as the Shang Dynasty and you will get this page. Then click on a map and you will see both a map and a description of the time period (below). Thus you have many more maps, in one nice neat place that you do not have in your textbook.
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.
