Interactive social studies subjects and reviews which are available for different ages and subjects.

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.

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.

I like that this site can be used for all different grade levels. I also like that if need you can "ask an expert." If I were to use this in a class room I think it would be helpful for researching states due to its "State Facts" section. I also think it would be fun to look at the section "This Day in History" daily to learn something new each day!

social studies for kids is a great website for teachers to have. it helps students and teachers both at the same time. this could be used as a classroom learning tool or a helping tool for kids at home.

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

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.

This website gives different lesson for how to incorporate learning the 50 states and exercise. I think map games are really fun and are easy to put together to help students learn states, capitals, and their location.

I chose this site because it is a great game for learning not only where the states are located, but also what the capitals are. As a teacher, I could use this in a classroom because there are different levels of learning: states with outlines, states without outlines, and capitals.

This is a fun interactive way to learn about the states. If you click on a state it gives a lot of facts. It tells how many people live there, and even breaks it down to how many boys and girls and how many by ages. i.e. nine year olds, ten year olds etc.

This website has simple facts about each state. This also has current events. This website has K-5, 6-8, teachers, and parents. I chose this website because this would be easy for the students to use when they need current events. I would have the students use it to find current events that they would understand.

a. I chose this one because it helps give you information about different areas b. I could use this as a resource when kids do projects about a state.

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 perfect for activities to use during or after a lesson. It includes puzzles and games such as a election vocabulary bingo which would have been perfect for students to go over now since the elections just happened. There are also crosswords on the original colonies or a Native american game. These would all help make a heavy lesson on learning about all the presidents or learning the state capitals alittle more fun.

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.

This website is another great website for elementary Social studies. It gives you articles on what is new in scholastics. It has different links to different topics such as culture, government, states, and geography. It also has fun things to do with your students and current contests that are running.

This game lets students guess which state to put where on a map. It is a good testing tool to see where students are at in their learning.

America's history through America's art. This website is a great resource for lesson plans and ideas for activities! I would particularly use this for ideas about teaching the early times of the United States. It has great lesson plans and students resources- it breaks difficult topics down into easy to understand key events!

America's history through America's art.

This website is full lessons for grades K-5 that include topics like water cycle, states of matter, weather, and the butterfly life cycle. I like the weather activity where you act out different weather characteristics.

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.

Lesson Plan Website I chose this lesson plan website because it is the main lesson plan website used by teachers. It states that there is over 400,000 instructional plans and worksheets. These were reviewed by teachers and easy to access. This website can be very resourceful for myself to find a great lesson plan for my students.

Sometimes the classroom needs an extra attention-getter. With Skype, there's a way for teachers to open conversations with several people--including experts, so I of course support this idea. Teachers can use this to interact with other classrooms around the state, around the country, or even around the world.

Why? How?

We used this in the classroom, but I think that it allows you to use Skype to locate different guest speakers around the world. I would use this if someone from the area couldn't make it in to talk to my class or if I wanted to get someone from miles away to speak in my class.
