The Internet Archive is building a digital library of Internet sites and other cultural artifacts in digital form. Like a paper library, we provide free access to researchers, historians, scholars, and the general public.
A service of Internet Archive ( www.archive.org ) to offer public access to NASA's images, videos and audio collections. Constantly growing with the addition of current media from NASA as well as newly digitized media from the archives of the NASA Centers.
Web site dedicated to students, teachers, parents, and the general public—to read milestone documents, consider their meaning, discuss them, and decide which are the most significant and why. This initiative creates a number of ways to do that—through classroom activities and competitions, and votes.
Great social studies resource. Lots of PRIMARY SOURCE material, as well as models for how to link to material, write secondary accounts that use primary sources. Great teacher resource!
The Presidential Timeline of the Twentieth Century
Fairly interactive, some primary source pictures, some primary source material. A great example of how a timeline can be used to show the flow of related events or just things that happen when.

Interesting discussion of how to deal with plagarism by teaching students to include links to material, giving credit for the thought and including their own perspective of why it's important. Plagarism is not going away, so how do we teach our students about how to deal with it.

Free Online Course Materials | MIT OpenCourseWare
MIT Open Courseware. A great way for students to access material that may not be presented at their level anywhere else. For that matter a great place for teachers to brush up and expand their thinking. I spent about an hour on the combinatorics course developed by an MIT student for high school math students who are 'bored' by high school math classes. If you are interested, it pushed my understanding pretty quickly!
Another persons effort to organize Web 2.0 applications, so you and I don't have to. I think it's a pretty good list, and worth looking at if you are looking for some new tools. I particularly like earth album http://www.earthalbum.com/
