Favorite Tech Tools For Social Studies Classes (most are interdisciplinary)

Favorite Tech Tools For Social Studies Classes (most are interdisciplinary) | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
How can educators decide which tech to use in the classroom? There are specialists who can help with that.
Beth Dichter's insight:

Finding great tools for your subject area is often time consuming. This post provides links and descriptions of 30 tools. Most are free (but not all). Although geared to social studies most tools would be useful to all teachers and learners. Below is a list of five tools, including several that were new to me.

* Draggo, a free tool that helps you organize websites and is shareable.

* Explee, an easy online video maker. This tool provides a free trial and then requires payment. There is an education plan available..

* Flipsnack allows you to create an online flipbook. You can create a book up to 15 pages in length for free.

* CK-12 Flexbooks allows you to create your own online textbook, or modify ones that exist.

* Kahoot allows you to create interactive quizzes that have a game show quality.

There are many more great tools in this post. Take a few minutes to peruse it and you may find one or two tools to add to your toolbox next year.

These tech tools offer the teacher a wide array of options that can serve a multitude of purposes. In this article you can find a list of technologies this teacher has utilized and the tasks that they offer. From video creation, to word sharing, to primary sources this article offers an abundance of great information for any teacher, but really plays to the success of the social studies teacher.

I teach fifth grade so my students would love to create a flip book for fun or to share knowledge for assessment also.
