    Well - we start the homeschooling tomorrow. For soem reason I've become fixated on history, and am amazed there is not a lot on European history (unless it deals with Hitler/Nazis)

    So, glaad to find this site for anyone who may be in a similar position. Gives a brief discourse on the history and links it to the geographjy.

    The Map As History

    Still appreciate any other DVD recommendations for 1st Republic France, Revolutions of 1848, Industrial Revolution.....

    I teach middle school world history.

    My state subscribes to Discovery Education's video streaming service (so many videos, so little time...). You might check them out, but I don't know what kind of terms they have for individual subscribers. I do like that they have their users rate videos, so you can see which ones other teachers have found useful.

    Also, Carus/Cobblestone publishes magazines (Appleseeds, Calliope, Cobblestone) with no ads, volume and issue numbers like grown-up scholarly journals, lots of photographs, and interesting articles on history. You can subscribe, buy back issues (I just sent in another $300 purchase order for my classroom),

    http://www.cobblestonepub.com/books/world+history/

    or subscribe to their entire text archive at cobblestoneonline.net for about $30. I went ahead and bought a subscription for the entire school to use, which cost about $125.

    My class ends with Pizarro meeting the Inca, so I'm not as familiar with resources about more recent history.
