Poster Presentations
Do your students ask how to develop a good poster presentation?  See these sites, some with further links:

Examples of teaching with online resources:

The First World War Poetry Digital Archive at http://www.oucs.ox.ac.uk/ww1lit

From an Oxford University newsletter:  "The First World War Poetry Digital Archive will contain primary source material from some of the major British poets from the First World War. This will consist predominantly of manuscripts and letters from five poets, plus contextual information such as images, video and audio. It will also innovatively show how these can be embedded in teaching, include facilities to help researchers and lecturers personalise their interactions with the site, and open the archive up for remote deposit via its Community Collection."

Electronic Catalogue of Medieval and Renaisssance Manuscripts at www.bodley.ox.ac.uk/dept/scwmss/wmss/online/medieval/

Virtual Jamestown at www.iath.virginia.edu/vcdh/jamestown-- also illustrates good web page design

Internet Watershed Educational Tool at www.interwet.psu.edu
  These are best viewed in separate windows.

OYEZ, U.S Supreme Court Multimedia-- Audio selections from Court sessions, at http://www.oyez.org/

Google for Educators:  http://www.google.com/educators/

Includes how-to video tutorials for products such as Blogger; lesson plans for applications such as Google Earth; and links to a training academy to become a "Google certified teacher", a pilot programme for teachers to learn about technology. From the site: "We think of this site as a platform of teaching resources - for everything from blogging and collaborative writing to geographical search tools and 3D modelling software - and we want you to fill it in with your great ideas."
