The House Divided Project exists to share resources freely with all engaged teachers and students of any age and from any country. In that spirit, we are promoting our content in social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. We have posted word clouds in the Wordle Gallery, lesson plans at Scribd, and our favorite bookmarks at Delicious.
