World History Websites:
Ultimate Guide to History Resources
This is a website that was recently shared with me. It has such a wide array of resources, including primary sources, blogs, and archives. There are some cool medieval resources we might look at this year. There are also great US history resources that can be helpful in future years.
Internet History Sourcebook
Sponsored by Fordham University, this is one of the best collections of primary sources I've found. The section on Medieval history is amazing.
Khan Academy: History
From this site, you can access a plethora of videos on world history. These videos can be very helpful to build on what we talk about in class.
Course: History of the World to 1500 CE
This is a series of video lectures from Richard Bulliet of Colombia University. They are very high-level, but provide some useful information.
Crash Course: World History
Narrated by John Green, this is an entertaining approach to history. Some of his jokes might go over your head, but he does do a nice job approaching history from a different and interesting perspective.
BBC Article on Jerusalem
This is a fantastic article from BBC that looks at the four quarters of the city of Jerusalem, and why various religious groups vie for control over the city. It also includes many helpful videos.

Useful Resources for WEx:
