Teach Technology
Through Social Studies Lessons
When you are teaching students how to
use a PC why not sneak in Social Studies content?
Or ask the same question a different way.
When students are learning Social Studies why not include technology in their
lessons?
These are great high school lessons that
incorporate MS Excel and MS Word into Social Studies area content. I would like
things to move faster…but each unit will take about a month by the time
students attach hyperlinks to their web pages. One of the most ignored tools is
having students save MS Word documents to web pages and having them posted on
the net.
