Welcome to the History Team Wiki Page!
The purpose of this Wiki is to provide a forum for History teachers to share and develop resources together. Collaboration can be as simple as sharing your best practices or as involved as using this Wiki page as a platform to develop a resource through sharing, commenting, and revising a resource as a group.
This Wiki has been created in the spirit of collaboration and sharing. Please feel free to borrow as much from us as we have from others... in other words, A LOT! In return, we ask you to reciprocate by sharing exemplary lessons and resources that you find or create and to contribute to the various discussions about issues related to teaching History. If you have something that you would like to contribute, follow the "How to Add Files" link below or simply email the document to matt.biggley@gecdsb.on.ca and it will be added to the site.
Thank you and good luck!

MC, the resource pages look great! I'll finish up my end (I think in the Modern Era and maybe a few in WWII) and we'll have this close to where we want it. Awesome work!
