This is a helpful tool to create your own vocabulary reviews in order to help you remember the content that has been learned in class. Not only is it great to learn the vocabulary, but it is also important to know how to apply our terms to real world examples.

A set of videos on different topics providing review and visuals (sometimes quite funny) to help further your understanding of what is being taught in class.
Khan Academy
Surprise! They aren't just for math and science. Look here for short videos on key time periods for the development of U.S. History.
