Khan Academy Account -Khan Academy offers teachers "Coach" accounts. Student can create accounts and designate coaches. In the student accounts, students have the ability to watch videos, try exercise problems(including a whiteboard that allows students to work out their problems on the computer) and earn badges. When a teacher is designated as a coach, they can view the progress of students.

National Library of Virtual Manipulatives -The site has many different online manipulatives. Since we are an online school, our students don't have the opportunity to have various manipulatives. This site allows students to have many of the same manipulatives found in regular classrooms. They also have modules teachers can created for math that allow students to interact with concepts and discover their own ideas.

An alternative to this assignment would be for a student to create several blog posts using [] to give an historically accurate, but fictional "day in the life" account reacting to the events developing during the selected time-frame.

Both if these assignments would allow similar content to be accessed and learned, in different manners, and in a way that would serve as compliments to each other.
