HS+Social+Studies

For the 2010-2011 school year I implemented several new technologies within the Social Studies department. Below are several websites that were useful and an explanation of their purposes. ** Wall Wisher ** –Can be used for an in class discussion or out of class discussion board. Allows students to sticky note their thoughts to a class board. [|www.wallwisher.com] ** Prezi- **allows teachers and students to create exciting presentations. [|www.prezi.com] ** iTunesU ** – This site allows teachers to gain recorded interviews and songs that applies to their content. I used this site for Holocaust survivors testimonials. http://www.apple.com/education/itunes-u/
