    This interactive website could be very useful in very many different situations in the classroom. There are many different topics like The Civil War, Immigration, Continents, and so many more things. Students can use this website when they are learning about any of the following topics. There are games and also informational readings to go with them.

    This is similar to the math site I posted except it is for social studies. Again, the students pick which area they need/want to practice and they can click that area to play games pertaining to that section. I click on the states/capitals. If you click on the states, it says the capital, the flag, the motto, etc. This would be a great site if you want students to do research on different states and then design the flag for that state. It could be used for anything. Amber Koth

    a. I chose this website because it looks entertaining maybe it's because I like social studies. b. I could use this to describe some major battles.

    I choose this site because it has many Social Studies topics that include games or informational videos. This site can be used in my future classroom by having the students participate in the games to help them learn more about the history being discussed.

    Helium is a social studies website. It goes in to a great deal of detail on American history, geography, current events, Native Americans, civil war, government and much more. It also gives you other websites to go to where you are able to find mini lessons on a president or resources related to social studies.

    Social Studies (1): This is a great website that can be used to gain lesson plan ideas. It is separated by grade level, topic, and how many class periods a teacher wants to spend on a certain subject. There are 400 social studies/history topics to choose from including both American and world history. Teachers can print off worksheets for students, get activity ideas, etc. It is very user-friendly and contains a ton of information. It is a government-funded website, so it is currently not being maintained due to funding shutdowns; however, a lot of the topics are still useful and relevant because the information will never be outdated.

    This is a good website for current events in social studies. Students could refer to this page when looking for current events around the world for a research project. It is also good for the teachers to keep up to date on world events.

    This website would be perfect for opening up class each week when talking about Social Studies. It offers a couple of this week in history this happened scenerios. It also offers multiple topics to view such as government, cultures, economics, etc.

    Why I chose this site: I chose this site because social studies can often be a dry, boring, and uninteresting subject for kids. This site has lots of cool subjects and topics that can be relevant to kids. How I'm going to use this site: I could use this site in several ways. I could use it to talk about current events that are happening today or I could use it to teach kids about the past that we can longer experience first hand. This site could be used as a whole class, or, it could be used independently for research projects. It's nice too because it's kid focused so they wont run into topics, pictures, etc., that aren't kid friendly.

    This website talks about current events, geography, and holidays. It includes past history around the civil war period and Renaissance. This website contains stories and information about important history periods. Also, there are helpful fun facts and glossaries to help students with social studies.

    This site provides information about geography, government, war, middle ages, and many other areas that are studied in school. I like that it provides current events information as well. This site could be used in class if you wanted your students to write about something currently going on in the world, or even to research something from the past.

    When working on a geography unit, this site would be very helpful. Students can practice their state recognition easily as well as learn about the states. This site could also be utilized for current event research. If a social studies teacher wanted to give a list of current event resources, this would be a great resource.
  • bethanyerin8 on 23 Sep 14
     
    This website is absolutely full of things for kids to do. This website doesn't have just games, they also have places where you can learn things about the different flags or about the different states in America or many other things. There is a section that has current events that are going on in the world. I think this is a great website for students to spend time on.

    I chose this website, because social students has always been a tough topic for me, so this is a good way to learn new information as well as fun facts. This website would be good to use for indivial projects on different states, and also to learn about them, and where they are on the map too.

    As a student I had a mixed review of social studies - this site in just a few sentences helped me understand why. Social studies is like the "junk drawer" of disciplines and ranges from govt to humanities to so many more. some things I liked others not so much, but this site lets you see how its all relevant to Social Studies

    This website would be helpful to teachers because it provides a variety of fun activities that will keep students interested while still teaching them the concept of social studies. These activities are different than old and tired activities and can help spice up the classroom lessons. These activities are ideal for middle school students, but could probably be altered to fit the need of students in all grade levels.

    I like this website because it features lots of articles and pieces all related to current affairs and politics. It would be a great resource for exposing middle schoolers and high school students to some cutting edge social studies issues. I would use these articles as discussion starters in my class.
  • bevinc123 on 16 Feb 15
     
    I think it can be somewhat difficult to relate social studies topics to current events, but it's something that will be important in order to make s.s topics more relatable. This site has so many current and relevant topics. I could use this site to help connect content or even just explore for myself to stay current on news.

    For this website you can chose between U.S. History, world history, geography, economics, civic and government, and elementary social studies. There are different resources like videos, interactive lessons, lesson plans, and so many others, and you can filter by what grade level you are teaching. How I would use this in my classroom is, I can use the lesson plans, pull videos, or use any interactive lessons.

    Social Studies: I chose this resource because I liked how it was laid out; you chose whether you wanted resources for the learner or the educator, it lays out how to use the website for teaching 21st-century skills, ideas to motivate and engage students with the content, and uses standard-aligned curriculum. I could use this in my future classroom to help with lesson plans and activities to teach students about social studies.
