Great Lists

Here's a site that was recently highlighted in a training session - If you're looking for a top 10 list (from the 10 best Canadian Comedians to the 10 most fascinating conspiracies), Listverse is the place to visit.

Virtual Museum of Iraq

I've had a quick play with the virtual museum of Iraq site - It's visually attractive and interactive and could be used in the classroom.

Wander round the halls, read descriptions of key exhibits and look at short video clips. Students would need quite a high level to get something from the site. You could ask students to explore a different period and then report back or you could set up your own treasure trail.
