Our hope for this Blog is that it would become an open discussion of primary source resources for teachers on the Net. We encourage you to leave comments with links to resources that we have not listed here.

The rules:

• All links should be to legal material.
• All material should be appropriate for the classroom.
  
• If possible, please include grade level and content area where appropriate.

The Deal:

• At irregular intervals we will compile the links submitted into new posts sorted by content area.
• We make no guarantee about anything on this site.
