As an educator, I am committed to sharing the best of the web resources with my students. Here is a partial list of essential websites that my class cannot live without. I am partial to those sites that provide primary sources in a kid-friendly presentation. Location matters, too, so I support those museum websites that we actually frequent often in person (easy to do when located in DC). Many museums offer excellent online educational resources and lesson plans for teachers.
