BBC News: Conflict with Iraq
"In addition to the latest news, this special BBC report has lots of in-depth background features. Best bets are the timeline, which traces Saddam Hussein’s rise to power, the interactive Iraqi map, and the At a Glance Q&A. Voices and In Pictures will take you inside Iraq with stories and photos of the people who have ""lived through twelve years of sanctions."" For a military view, peruse the Military Factfiles (guide to the US and British arsenals) and Quick Guides (interactive features on strategies and threats.)"

BBC for Schools: The Romans
"Although designed as a companion to the BBC television series "The Romans in Britain," there is plenty here for any elementary or middle school student. Highlights include eleven feature articles with interactive quizzes, vocabulary hyperlinked to a glossary, and seven printable activity sheets. High-school students and adults should find their way to the grownup History of the Romans, which is listed along with other resources in the Web Links section."

Battlefield Vietnam
"Battlefield Vietnam, also a PBS site, focuses on three military topics: Guerrilla Tactics, Air War and The Siege at Khe Sanh. "Khe Sanh was one of the most remote outposts in Vietnam, but by January 1968, even President Lyndon Johnson had taken a personal interest in the base. With Khe Sanh facing a full-scale siege by the North Vietnamese Army, the question was being asked: Should the base be held, or should it be quietly abandoned?""

Around Ireland
"Ireland is divided into two separate countries - the independent Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, which is part of Great Britain. In addition to the general introduction to Irish geography, the highlights of this site are the Myths and Language pages. The Irish language is a remnant from the ancient Iron Age Celtic civilization. Throughout Ireland there is renewed interest in their ancient native tongue. "It is a beautiful language to listen to and not an easy one to learn." Unfortunately, many of the geography pages and the Music page are still incomplete."

Ancient Egypt
"Board games were very common in ancient Egypt and people from all levels of society played them. Many game boards from ancient Egypt have been found by archaeologists. This British Museum exhibit (my pick of the day) doesn’t focus exclusively on Egyptian art, but rather presents a marvelous interactive overview of ancient Egyptian life. Each of the ten topics (for example Pyramids, Geography, Pharaoh) feature a Shockwave challenge such as playing a board game or matching tools to the correct tradesman. Teachers will find curriculum notes in the Staff Room."
