HistoryWorld’s aim is to make world history more easily accessible through interactive narratives and timelines.
There are many interesting parts of the site to check out. Try TOURS to travel through time on your own selection of interconnecting trails. Use WHATWHENWHERE to discover what was going on at any moment. There are also a number of CURRICULUM TIMELINES.”
My favorite part of the site is playing Whizz Quiz. “Whizz Quizz is an online game in which you can pit your speed and skill against other competitors. A new challenge starts every hour on the hour. If you are the fastest so far, you feature on the Home Page as Whizzard of the Hour.” On the homepage you will see two example questions of what it is like, and then you can click the Play Whizz Quiz button and be off to quiz land.
The quiz I took was seven questions of historical information which I was miserable at.:-) But the important thing to remember is speed as well as accuracy. Time is an issue. You get a twenty-second time penalty for each incorrect answer.
This is a site that makes History fun with a capital F.
