Abstract
Technology offers three major benefits to world history teachers: an online supply of supplemental resources; access to creative tools; and the opportunity for students to collaborate. These three positive contributions vary in the degree of involvement they require of students. Supplemental resources offer or display information, but often lack a meaningful interactive component. Creative tools and collaborationist technologies, on the other hand, encourage active involvement and collaboration among students. Presented are some sites that enable teachers to take advantage of this range of benefits. (Contains 1 note.)
