    This is a Social Studies site. I chose this site because of its lesson on Geography that so many students including myself lack. I was tested on the 50 states in high school, but thats it. Many Americans could most likely not find Florida or California if you gave them a map. Geography is an important education tool that seems to be losing its ground in the education system today.

      This website is a good place to get different social studies activities to use in the classroom and it is also is a good place to use as a refrence when learning about different states and countries. I picked this website because I like how there are many different activities that we can use in the class. I also like that there are descriptions of the states. Click on Iowa and see what it says!

    This website is awesome, especially for teaching the states and capitals. There are so many fun games for students to play, so they won't get bored with the traditional rehearsal of flashcards.

    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.

    This website is very helpful for social studies lessons. There are many mini lessons to choose from for every grade and lessons on geography, the government and american history. I enjot hand on activities in lessons and a few of the lessons suggestions include making a play doh map of your state or making maps. There are also instructional lessons like how to read a map or lessons on current events. This would be very helpful for an older grade level and to get more in depth on what is going on today.

    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.

    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.

    This website hits on all subjects and get very specific in the field at which wants to be studied. It has many different games and would be good for all age groups.

    This is a great educational game website. It has a varitey of games for every subject. This could be used as assessment or review. This website will come in handy in the future.

    This site provides games for many different subjects. When children play games that are fun and educational they don't really realize they are playing a learning game. These games all look fun which will get them interested in playing them. I would probably try to get in a computer lab every once in a while to allow children to play games for each subject to help get them used to using a computer and also to have them learning about all the different subjects.
  • Lindsay Ellinor on 23 Sep 13
     
    Educational Games: Students can learn while playing Animal Games, Art Games, Music Games, Math Games, Logic Games, Geography Games, Memory Games, Science Videos, etc. These are very interactive games that allow students to apply what they have learned in class to online games! I would use this in my class as a reward and a time filler if there was extra time at the end of the day or after a lesson.
  • serra erguven on 03 Feb 14
     
    This is a great website with a ton of different games for students of all ages from 1st grade to high school these games vary in the subjects. I feel that these games can make the learning fun in the class room. I would use this in my class room during some free time the students may have. I will allow them to play on the website in their grade level. I could also tell them what subject they need to be working on also.
  • bethanyerin8 on 23 Sep 14
     
    This website is also very basic and very appropriate for students. I think this would also be a great tool for teachers to use when their students have extra free time in the classroom. Kids have the ability to chose what they want to work on like math, science, reading, music, art, and other options.
  • nicoleanne on 24 Sep 14
     
    The site I found here provides a number of different educational games in different learning areas. These games are a fun way to get students engaged while learning new things and strengthening their knowledge. I would definitely share this site with the parents and give students the opportunity to play these games during their free time.

    This site has every subject on it that kids can play to learn certain subjects. I would use this site to help me teach the students certain subjects.

    Online Learning Games for kids are a great way to build the skills that kids need to succeed in school. These educational games for kids make learning fun with math facts, language arts, and more. This would be another option to reach different subjects and topics. This website also has a printable. The printable would be good for those students who may not want to use the computer but needs extra help.

    I chose this website because it gives a wide variety of subjects to study for social studies. This website is guaranteed to have just about any social studies unit taught. Each unit is very specific so it is easy to find topics for extra practice. I would use this site as part of a lesson because it offers a video on the topic, quizzes, actives, and challenging practice.

    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.

    This allows students to play different games, look at current events and get to low Social Studies a little better. Good website for students K-5
  • cassiewolfe on 15 Apr 15
     
    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.
