    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 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.

    Social Studies (2): This website contains free learning and teaching resources from Federal Agencies which makes it a credible resource for teachers and students to use. It covers a variety of history/social studies topics: government, famous people, movements, states/regions, world studies, wars, etc. There are photos, videos, documents, and other important resources about the topics that are linked to each subject. As a teacher, this resource could be used as links in PowerPoints, embedded in Prezis, or as a tool for students to use in the classroom.

    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.

History & Social Studies | EDSITEment - 0 views

    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.

    I like this website because it lets the student play challenging games that helps them learn about civic duties. They learn about immigration, courts, and branches of power just to name a few.

    This website is really good when wanting to learn more about politics. I think it is something that can be used to introduce when getting into learning about government.
