American Imperialism: Crash Course US History #28
Crash Course is a series of entertaining education videos created to explore any number of topics. While short, they do provide a ton of good information into a small, engaging package and this one is no exception!
American Imperialism: Definition, Reasons & Rising International Power (Study.com)
Study.com, like Crash Course above, covers many topics found in middle and high school classrooms. These are almost full fledged lessons that allow students to teach themselves through videos, timelines, and quizzes. While they do have a pay-to-use model for deeper instruction, the information provided for free is still extremely worthwhile.
American Imperialism: 1898 (Sparknotes.com)
Sparknotes has traditionally been a route for students to get quick overviews of subjects to prepare for tests or to avoid having to study other materials. Because of this it is a resource of limited value but shouldn't be ignored, as it does provide information in a concise, clear way, which can be very helpful for students who may be overwhelmed.
Three Examples of Imperialism by the US in the Late 1800s (Synonym.com)
Synonym.com offers many tools aimed at educational and academic literacy but, as can be seen from this article, offers quite a bit more. It contains videos and quizzes like a number of the other sites, all while working as an advance thesaurus in order to expand positive language skills.
American Imperialism (Wikipedia.org)
Many educators, especially at the college level, seem to have a tendency to denigrate Wikipedia as a resource as it can be actively edited by anyone. However, the sheer amount of information and accessibility it provides should not be overlooked. When working with students it is advisable for them to investigate the annotations for possibly more 'accurate' details.
Chapter 10: America Claims an Empire (Classzone.com)
Classzone.com is the companion website provided by McDougal-Littel that corresponds to our classroom textbook, The Americans.
Students are provided login information and then can use this website to access practice quizzes, and an online copy of the textbook. This is especially useful given that much of the information covered in this section is directly from the textbook.
American Imperialism (Boundless.com)
Much like Study.com, Boundless offers free quizzes, notes, and vocabulary activities covering a wide range of topics. It gives both students and educators the ability to craft and edit their own study guides, to allow for positive feedback on both sides.
American Imperialism-Late 19th century through early 20th Century (Quizlet.com)
Quizlet.com is another great resource for students and teachers to create their own content. This particular link routes to a series of definitions and terms on American Imperialism created by another user. One unique and very handy tool is the 'Speller', where audio is played and students are expected to spell the spoken word. This can be very useful for those struggling with basic language skills and content specific vocabulary.
Pros and Cons of Imperialism (Buzzle.com)
Another engaging and informational site for students, with wide variety of topics and articles. This linked article has the option to be read to the student via audio, and also focuses not just on the information but the possible pros and cons of concepts. This extra layer adds perspective and encourages students to decide what they think about the information.
19th Century Imperialism (Timetoast.com)
Much like Quizlet or Boundless, Timetoast is primarily user-created material, only with an emphasis on timelines. Perhaps one of the more limited resources on this page but offers digital timeline creation to students, something that is not easily found elsewhere.
