Readings Week 6 - Technology In Social Studies

I was elated to see readings that specifically show how technology can be implemented into a social studies plan. One of my biggest irritations with my district is that they seem to think that technology cannot be used in history classes, and when it comes to adding resources to classrooms, history teachers are the last to get technology. For example, math classes already have SMART Boards and next to get them is the science department then the business department, the english department and then, finally, us! I really enjoyed the lesson shown in Integrating Technology in the Social Studies Class. I liked the idea of having students create comic strips based on Supreme Court cases - that's such a great idea!!!
