Comments/Reviews
Description: This book is a must for middle and high school social studies teachers who need help for incorporating digital technology and the Internet into their instruction. While many methods texts include an add-on chapter on teaching with technology, this work integrates the use of technology into every phase of the social studies curriculum. Filled with decision-making scenarios and reflective questions that help bring the material to life, it covers the development of teaching technologies and lesson plans, and includes actual instructional models in history and social studies. Throughout the book the authors provide practical examples, worksheets, graphic organizers, suggested activities, as well as methods for assessing and evaluating student performance.
