This author has great ideas to integrate history and social studies into ELA to ensure students receive social studies lessons. Sometimes, in primary school, in particular, students do not receive social studies and science lessons. With this bloggers ideas, you can integrate social studies into ELA.

Ideas of how to engage in mobile learning

When I've thought of the Khan Academy website, I used to think of the great deal of content there that is focused on Math and Science, with smaller sections for History and Economics. There is a much smaller but very useful section of the website focused on Grammar.

Excellent videos, no longer than approximately 5 minutes, with built in discussion questions and accompanying activities.

This resource is contains a library of different math and science simulations. There are dozens of different activities students can use that cover a wide variety of topics. These simulations can be used to teach different ideas and support cross curricular learning.

This website contains a vast library of educational videos that are designed to teach students about various topics in the world of math, science and computers. The videos are accompanied with practice problems for learners to go through after each video to assess their learning.

This is a LibGuide developed by Napa Valley College that explains a number of key information literacy concepts that apply specifically to the sciences, including the scientific information cycle, peer review, how to find and read scientific articles, and the research process.

A social media platform that focuses on science and specifically biodiversity

I use this site to create an online textbook for my students. I also use many of the simulations and other resources the site has to offer. Great resource especially if you teach math or science.

iNaturalist is a social networking app for naturalists. It harnesses the power of crowd sourcing by enabling any person, with a mobile phone and access to the internet, the opportunity to participate in citizen science. Users create 'observations' by posting images of the local flora and fauna. If the observations include geolocation/time data and the specimens, are confirmed by two other users, then it becomes research grade. This means it could be used in real studies being conducted by scientists, such as herpetologists and botanists. The app is great for identifying wildlife and connecting students with experts.

A resource for lessons to support Common Core Math/ELA and NextGen Science standards.
