Description
Teachers must be able to help students make meaningful connections to
social studies content. Using resources such as media and technology
benefits students by engaging them in making those connections. The
purpose of this assignment is to analyze potential engaging technology
resources that integrate real-life application in the social studies
classroom.
Create a 10-12 slide digital presentation for your social studies
colleagues that promotes different technologies to be used in the
classroom. For your presentation select an elementary grade level and
geography standard of your choice. Then locate three different
technology resources that could be used to teach your selected
standard.
Your presentation should explain:
- How the technology resource works.
- Whether students work individually or collaboratively.
- How the technology resource could be used to support scaffolding of the geography standard you chose. Provide specific examples.
- Why the resource is helpful and engages students.
- How the resource promotes real-world application.
Be sure to include a title slide, reference slide, and presenter’s notes.
While APA format is not required for the body of this
assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations
and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines,
which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student
Success Center.
