Social Studies Virtual Tools & Resources
This page will provide you with:
A Virtual Tools alignment document that shows which virtual tools are most effective for specific instructional activities.
A US History Wakelet compilation of US History virtual resources from around the United States. This wakelet was created by a group of Social Studies leaders and teachers from the Facebook Group: Social Studies Network. In this group, we collaborate to help push content out to Social Studies teachers throughout the U.S.
Virtual Tools and Resources for Social Studies and History Teachers
The first file below contains resources and tools that are aligned with the type of activity they are best used for in virtual learning.
For example, do you need to lead a class discussion but are not sure which tool would be best for that? Check out this document! We suggest using Blogging for longer discussions and link some great blogging tools and for shorter conversations, we recommend Padlet, Socrative, and Flipgrid!
Looking for tools that your students can utilize to create timelines, maps, or data sets? This resource has you covered!
How about a resource to help your students interview a family or community member?
Please use this to help you make the best decisions on when and how to use virtual tools. If you have a suggested tool or resource for the list, send it to Crystal at cparten@csraresa.net with the subject line "Virtual Tools" and she will add it to the list!
The second resource is a U.S. History Wakelet created by educators associated with the Social Studies Network.
