Model history websites?
I recently found a website that has a collection of links to interactive history sites:
http://www.besthistorysites.net/index.shtml
From what I’ve seen so far, they’re extremely interactive, colorful, and organized. I think they’d serve as great examples for our website!
Here are two of the links on the site that I liked in particular:
http://www.1704.deerfield.history.museum/home.do
http://dohistory.org/
Interesting websites?
I think I remember that it was an assignment to post interesting websites to this category. Sorry if I’m jumping the gun here… 😮
This is an art website, I think it’s innovative because you can handwrite and hand-draw comments:Â http://tewi.us/tegaki/
This is a pretty cool website, it’s very pleasing to the eye and it has really good use of streaming audio and dialog boxes: they don’t annoy you but engage you. Â I also like the way certain images enlarge and sometimes multiply when you click on them: http://irinashabayeva.com/
Websites We Like
I’ve added a new category, “Websites We Like”. Â I encourage you all to post websites you find that are interesting or contain an element you think might be useful for our site on East Harlem. Â Just post these to the class blog and categorize them as a ‘website we like’.
Here’s one with demographic information on East Harlem that I thought might be helpful and another site with great data and maps of East Harlem. Â Scroll down to the bottom of the page to find the table of contents on this site.
