I found this useful website that has many links and sources for history teachers trying to incorporate technology into their classes. They seem to provide quite a bit of support. I think I will like this site. -
This is a great website for history teachers. It provides a comprehensive guide to teaching history with various types of technology. It includes different links to websites that provide technological lesson plans and activities, most of which I found could be very useful in a history classroom. The site also gives ideas on creating presentations and using multimedia in the classroom. Another great feature the site provides is the ability to discuss and collaborate with other history teachers - it provides blogs, Wikis, and even Google docs.

I found this website when doing an assignment for another class. It has lots of ideas of engaging simulation activities for lots of subjects within social studies, such as civics, economics, history, geography, and others. Some of my favorites include the Oregon Trail activity and the Presidential Interview Panel. If you cannot find the type of activity you are looking for, there is a great search bar that allows you to look for more ideas you weren't even aware of.
