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.

This is a Social Studies site. I chose this one due to its creativity. This game that I am bookmarking is an activity for the students to match up the presidents with his vice president.

The only problem I have with it is, it doesnt give any clues so I had a hard time because it has been along time since I learned about the presidents.

This website is great. It was recently showed to me by a current high school teacher. Cagle is basically a collection of political and other cartoons that are arranged based on topic. This is useful in the social studies area because it allows students to study events, past and present, by the use of a humorous and/or ironic visual. It also promotes critical thinking skills because students have to think about what each thing means in the cartoon in order to decipher the whole meaning. This would be especially useful in a class that deals with current events.
