Uncover Thousands of Years of History at Kidipede
November 9, 2007
Kids love to obsess over new stuff – video games, music, clothes, and other stuff that costs lots of money. Don’t they realize how much neat stuff happened a long time ago? Set them straight by pointing them to Kidipede, a world history Web resource geared toward grades 5-8.
Kidipede covers history from all parts of the globe – North America, China, Greece, Rome, India, Africa, and more – from the present day to as far back as 50,000 B.C. If you’ve got any aspiring history buffs, or even a few kids who are keyed up about history after watching the Indiana Jones trilogy, they can find plenty of material to sate their appetites. Take advantage of Kidipede’s guides for teachers and parents for ideas on incorporating content into your lessons. Of course, with thousands of years of history to work with, you’ll only be limited by your ideas. -BILL FERRIS
