The Museum offers three floors of exhibitions that explore the rich diversity of American history, from "First Ladies: Political Role and Public Image" to "America on the Move."
This is the website for the Smithsonian National Museum of American History. The site is impressively done with many virtual exhibits. Its appeal ranges from interactive games for kids and to advanced search engines for scholars.
Telegraph Keys possess both historical value as well as aesthetic appeal. As more keys find their way to collectors, fewer are available for the rest of us to see. This display and the links provided will hopefully allow all who wish to enjoy seeing them. Please visit as often as you like and tell your friends about our website. Thanks in advance for coming and for any suggestions you have for future

The World Wide Web sites collected on this page reflect the considerable variety of uses for computing and related forms of electronic technology in teaching. They are arranged in no strict order, but tend to proceed from rather general and theoretical resources to some instructive examples of specific applications of technology to teaching and learning. Like many other web sites, this one changes and grows as I find time to revise and update these links. I am grateful to those who have made suggestions, corrections, and introduced me to additional resources. [N.B. Many of these links are old, some are probably dead. Since I no longer have time to update the site as frequently as I should, I provide this warning to visitors.]
Concise, well-organized source page for K-12. Good starting point for further exploration.

While still an emerging field of scholarship, the study of cyberculture flourished throughout the last half of the 1990s, as witnessed in the countless monographs and anthologies published by both academic and popular presses, and the growing number of papers and panels presented at scholarly conferences from across the disciplines and around the world. Significantly, the field of study has developed, formed, reformed, and transformed, adding new topics and theories when needed, testing new methods when applicable.
The RCCS site includes in introductory essay to the various facets of cyberculture scholarship, courses offered at universities worldwide, upcoming conference information, and links to other cyberculture sites. Submissions are accepted for both course and conference listings. Of note is a section of book reviews featuring multiple reviews for single books with author responses as well.
The course explores the ramifications of new media on traditional knowledge practices. The site includes discussion of issues, questions and assignments and links to texts and other sites of interest
The VL is the oldest catalog of the web, started by Tim Berners-Lee, the creator of html and the web itself. Unlike commercial catalogs, it is run by a loose confederation of volunteers, who compile pages of key links for particular areas in which they are expert; even though it isn't the biggest index of the web, the VL pages are widely recognised as being amongst the highest-quality guides to particular sections of the web.
Collection of links to other virtual libraries which catalog sites in the following topics: Agriculture, The Arts, Business and Economics, Communications and Media, Computing and Computer Science, Education, Engineering, Humanities and Humanistic Studies, Information and Libraries, International Affairs, Law, Natural Sciences and Mathematics, Recreation, Regional Studies, Social and Behavioral Sciences, and Society. Material is well maintained and can be browsed by subject or searched, and is available in English, Spanish, French and Chinese.
