This is the website address for the National Council for the Social Studies. Payment for full resources is required, however there is top social studies news including legislative action alerts and education news.

This is a great website to see what other teachers are using in their classes. Mainly activities! (You have to make an account but it is definitely worth it, and search "education" and you will find tons of great stuff!)

This social networking site could be used by educators much the same as Diigo. The one real difference is that Pinterest is a visual space (akin to a pin board) where you can get a sense of the content at a glance and dig deeper based on what you see.

This link is to the NH Department of Education site that gives a link to the NH Social Studies Framework as well as other pertinent resources.

This is New Hampshire's Curriculum Social Studies Standards

A series of Social Studies Web Quests

I was introduced to this website through a friend a few months ago and believe it is a good resource for soon to be teachers.

Site of Enduring Understandings and Essential Questions for the field of social studies.

These Social Studies lyrics are available from a variety of albums. Use songs to teach American geography, government, history, patriotism, and culture. American Geography Songs The 50 States and Capitals Song- Tim Pacific Directions to Nowhere (How to Read a Map)- Joan Maute, Ed.D. Gonna Name Our States- Music with Mar.

Wow, this site has so many fun ideas!! I'd love to use these in a classroom. I can even remember some from my elementary school and middle school days. I think it makes teaching and learning these "facts" more fun for everyone.

Lesson Plans and Ideas

I found this sire useful in the development of my mini unit in Teaching Social Studies. This site shares ways to stay outdoors and incorporate nature into lessons.

Best of History Web Sites features categorized and annotated lists of links to hundreds of K-12 history lesson plans, teacher guides, activities, games, quizzes, and more throughout its pages.
