P.A.S.S. (Podcasts About Social Studies) - 0 views

  •  
    This is an amazing resource for Social Studies teachers. There are archives for many podcasts by professionals pertaining to the social sciences in education. Definitely a site to revist and spend some time listening to the podcasts and becoming familiar with some very knowledgable people in the field.

Using Technology to Prepare Social Studies Teachers - 5 views

  •  
    This is a great article that describes using technology to extend the learning of our students in a social studies classroom. Emphasis is placed on the importance of using technology to make our teaching better and that teachers must be involved in a constant and consistent training program. The article highlights some great web-based sources for social studies teachers such as the Virginia Center for Digital History.

    Stephanie: I like how this article doesn't leave the content behind. It was a wonderful "reinforcement" of the idea that technology needs to help and support the learning in a new way. Great find.

Findings Blog - How We Will Read: Clay Shirky - 0 views

  •  
    If you liked his TED talk, you may enjoy his discussion of READING in the world of Kindle Fire and other tablets. I wrote a long (18 page) research paper for UNO about e-readers, so this article speaks to me. :-) Shirky explores SOCIAL READING and discusses its merits (or lack thereof).

    "taking advantage of this moment means taking an active interest in the changes that are happening - keeping informed in real-time, via social media and the web, of disruptions, miscommunications, and the opportunities that arise from both"

Gaming in the Social Studies classroom - 3 views

  •  
    The author of this blog has addressed the issue of gaming in the classroom. He says that until gaming creators produce educational games that rival the quality of entertainment-only games, they will only be supplemental tools for the classroom and not primary teaching tools. BUT he does list a few really cool games he already implements in his classroom. I played around with some and was impressed--and interested in rummaging around on their home websites.

Technology in the Classroom: Helpful or Harmful? - 2 views

  •  
    In this article, it addresses the technology that is locked away in classrooms because it takes too much time to successfully implement them in the classroom. Technology has been proven successful in the classroom by individualizing learning for students. Technology can help the teacher track the progress of students and free up time to work on other skills (problem solving, critical thinking and social development). This article has additional resources about technology in the classroom. Janice Rose

10 Internet Technologies that Educators Should be Informed About - 1 views

  •  
    I liked this article because it talked about podcasts and RSS feeds (push instead of pulling resources off the web), as well as some of the other tools. I don't always remember that in a pinch,instrucutional information videos are often available on YouTube. I also thought it was interesting that this author talked about knowing how to use social media sites ... and when not to.

5 Unique Uses of Twitter in the Classroom - 2 views

  •  
    This article examines how to use twitter in a college classroom, but it was very insightful for high school classes as well. The article lists five uses of twitter that benefit the classroom: Bringing clients to class, learning to be concise, creating character, teaching about social media, and creating a brand. The article said technology for the sake of technology, in this case twitter, isn't the goal; rather we should focus on how to select the right technology for the right occasion.
