Pbs.org
This is a great history website. The website has valuable lesson plans that coincide with a show that PBS has produced or aired. For example, I really like the Civil War movie and lesson plan. PBS continues to produce incredible documentaries, search out documentaries by Ken Burns. The PBS site is also great for the science department with shows like NOVA and the corresponding lesson plans provided by the website.

Google images
Google images is an incredible tool. In my classroom the Power Point presentation is the medium for lectures, and the ability to quickly enhance a presentation with pictures or visuals of any kind is important. Google images is so powerful because it allows to very easily find an image and the link to the original website.

This is a random teacher lesson plan database I found and use. It has great resources for history teachers. Recently I adapted another teacher's unit on the Renaissance which I found through this website.
