Podcast Tutorial

I have put together a brief [10 minute] tutorial on how to subscribe, download, and listen to podcasts which is available via this link.  Feel free to watch the video and leave me comments.  Because of the size of the video [it's full screen and about 33 Megs], I would recommend right clicking on the link and downloading it onto your computer because it can take a while to load up.  I wanted to do something smaller, but didn't think that everything you needed to see would be visible in a smaller screen.

Teaching Economic History

Economic History Services offers extensive information on the teaching and study of economic history including book reviews, course syllabi, discussion groups and databases.  The site is run by the Economic History Association.

The Complete Works of William Shakespeare

As the title of the site points out - this site offers The Complete Works of William Shakespeare, except for his poetry.  So, it is really the almost complete works of Shakespeare - but most of it is here.  The plays included are all public domain translations.

Search open journals on the Internet

DOAJ - the Directory of Open Access Journals offers the opportunity to search over 1800 scientific and scholarly journals on a wide variety of topics and over four hundred of those journals can be searched at the article level.  Journals can be browed by title or by subject area.

Supreme Court Information

OYEZ offers a good deal of information about the US Supreme Court and its history, including past and present cases appearing before the court, information about the justices and even a podcast.  The site also offers a multi-media tour of the court [with more than 2000 hours of audio].

Political Resources on the Internet

Political Resources on the Net offers links to political parties and resource connections throughout the world.  Links are organized according to geographical region and alphabetically.  Includes links to many obscure political organizations - even in the United States.  Who knew that there was a Royalist Party of America?

World maps at Multimap

Multimap provides street level maps of the United states, Europe and the United Kingdom as well as road maps of the whole globe.  The site offers a good deal in travel related information - directions, aerial photographs, and even a map of the London Underground.  The site is directed towards European travelers, but offers useful information for everyone.

Finding websites of colleges and universities with Braintrack

Braintrack links you with the websites of educational institutions around the world - over 8,000 of them, and growing.  Links include colleges, universities, polytechnical institutes, and more.  Institutions can be found both geographically and through key word searches.

Computer support at Answers That Work

Answers That Work is devoted to providing free computer support - whether you are having problems with your software, your hardware, your network or just trying to find out what is going wrong with your computer period.  It includes The Ultimate Troubleshooter for checking out what might be causing your computer to misbehave.

British History at the BBC

The BBC-History site is focused on general history topics, including special sections on historical figures and various topics. Encyclopedic in nature, it also has a good deal of interactive educational content - especially in British history.  This is a site designed both for those who are getting their feet wet in a particular area as well as for educators who may be looking at good material for classroom presentations.
