Session 1:
The Use of Kidspiration and Inspiration in teaching Social Studies
Description: Utilizing this software in social studies is a great way to visualize the concepts that you are teaching by creating webs/graphic organizers. You will also learn how to hyperlink your webs to the internet. This software will also teach students a fun way to organize their thoughts using pictures and words.
Session 2: What
is a Web Quest and How Can It Help Me Teach Elementary Social Studies?
Description: A web quest will keep your students yearning to learn. They are a fun, independent and controlled way to use the internet as another tool in your classroom. It is a great way to introduce a topic or use it as another assessment tool.
Session 3: The
Use of Tom Snyder’s Time Liner Software in Teaching Social Studies
Description: Time Liner 5.0 is a terrific tool for teaching a period in history or doing biography reports. Find out how to create a slide show in relation to a time line that you have created by using pictures from home or from the internet. Learn how to have the students create their own time line that represents their life or some one else’s. With Time Liner you have the opportunity to keep track of everything you are studying in social studies on a timeline, which will give your students a better idea of when events took place in history.
Session 4: The Use of Smartboard in Teaching Social Studies
Description: On the last day you will learn how to spice up your social studies curriculum by utilizing all the fascinating pictures and manipulatives that the Smart Board software has to offer.
