      Daryn was a teacher trainer for years and all of his "Activities" are student centered, multi-sensory and action-based.

      This site is useful for teaching students about the history of communication in the United States. It would be useful as well to teach a unit on postal history combined with a language arts unit on letter writing.

  • TCI, a leading publisher of innovative K-12 social studies curriculum, recently launched TeachTCI and LearnTCI, online instructional technologies for teachers and students.
  • When teachers sign in to their TeachTCI account online, they have access to all the resources found in TCI's print materials, plus links to lesson-specific discussion groups that facilitate professional exchange, an assessment creator, and a Classroom Presenter tool that translates the printed lesson guide into a visual format that enables teachers to lead dynamic classroom activities.
  • "TeachTCI turns the countless hours I would usually spend on lesson planning and activity development into a one-stop, shopping-like experience for everything I need for class. The fact that it is online makes it easy for me access these resources from any computer and allows me to work as easily from home as from school," said Steve Innamarato, a social studies teacher at Central High School in Philadelphia.

  • Making the content of both TeachTCI and LearnTCI web-based was a strategic decision by TCI. "We can ensure that our content remains cutting-edge," said TCI's founder and CEO, Bert Bower. "With print publishing, we weren't able to make updates as often because of long printing cycles. Updating digital content is a snap. Another advantage is that teachers can prepare and plan lessons from anywhere, and students can interact with their text at home, from the library, or anywhere they can get online."

    This web site has information on an online teaching resource for teachers. The program allows teachers and students to work from anywhere via the internet.

      The Sample Materials are good starting points but I would not use them on their own, needs expansion. Specifically, the Malaria one is not very good.

    This is the teacher's section of the AAG (Association of American Geography). It is a professional society, located in D.C. (would be a good organization to tap into for DCPS teachers, guest speakers?). The free sample lessons available for download on the bottom are best because they offer cross-curricular lessons, great for team teaching and connecting to all standards not just social sciences.
