DailyFacts.info is a great resource for teachers who wish to engage their students in history, culture and society, and do further biographical research. Simply start your live sessions with "What makes today special?" and guide the students to visit the link below, then return with interesting highlights and list them in the chat box. Students can be encouraged to do further research on the individuals or events highlighted and present them as an online presentation via PowerPoint and SlideShare.com and share a link to their creation via e-mail, which you can in turn share with colleagues, students, and parents in order to engage, empower, and encourage academic growth.
