ADVANCED ACADEMIC SUMMIT:INTEGRATING TECHNOLOGY INTO THE
SOCIAL STUDIES CLASSROOM Presented by: Rebecca Richardson & Annette
Terry
WELCOME & INTRODUCTIONS
Our Background
You & Why You are Here…
AA SESSION OBJECTIVES:
To share ideas on how to integrate technology into
the classroom.
To share “what worked” and “what didn’t work” in
integrating technology into the classroom.
To collaborate with other teachers on what
technology is being used and how it is being
integrated into the classroom.
NOW…PLEASE OPEN UP A DOCUMENT OF YOUR CHOICE
FOR YOUR SESSION NOTES.
Digital Note-Taking vs. Traditional Note-Taking
WEB 2.0 OPTIONS
Introduce a variety of websites (some you may
know) and what is done with these web 2.0 tools in
our classrooms
Discuss positives outcomes and struggles with
these options
Feedback or what you may be doing with them?
TODAY’S MEET
Silent conversations with students, organized questioning
throughout the class period, an alternative to blogging, great for
student reflections
Can access with a personal device or computer
http://todaysmeet.com/
(-) Not organized; no individual reply function to something said in
the conversation (like a blog allows)
GLOGSTER
Go digital in poster making – embraces 21st century
skills with less clutter in your classroom; can be
graded from any computer; students always have
access to their work for review purposes later; great
for individual presentations or in a gallery walk
scenario
http://www.glogster.com/

STRUGGLES…
Have to review aesthetics with students (font sizes,
colors, appropriate layouts)
You lose the student work to be displayed on the
classroom walls or in the hallway
Can take a lot of time to load if showing in class
GLOGSTER EXAMPLES:

WORDLES
Usually a small part of an overall presentation
Great to have students identify patterns and make inferences
http://www.wordle.net/
Or try… http://www.tagxedo.com/ for a few more options.
Sample Wordle Lesson
Wordle doesn’t allow you to save the file – you have to take a
screenshot of your final product but tagxedo does evidently.
LIVEBINDER
Great for real-time collaborative student work, teacher led units,
teacher led videos; could work well with the flipped classroom and
organization
http://www.livebinders.com/
Project Description & Project Grading Rubric
Students were often frustrated with lack of editing options – more
difficult to use for some students. Upgrades to Livebinder may help.
LIVEBINDER EXAMPLES

TIMETOAST
Reviews specific dates or chronology for students; can be used as
a unit overview; builds CCOT skills (changes & continuities over
time); often added as one element to a larger digital presentation
http://www.timetoast.com/
(-) Time creating the timeline on the computer versus creating one
on paper
ANIMATED CONTENTGreat to introduce units or as review! Best as one element to an
entire digital presentation in the classroom. Can also be used to
explain portions of assignments
http://www.voki.com/ or http://www.xtranormal.com/
Be wary of what you hear. Kids have been known to copy and
paste from other website and the programs repeats it word-for-
word. Also, if pronunciations are a problem, then students may
have to type names or locations phonetically.
ANIMATED EXAMPLES:

http://
www.xtranormal.com/watch/12466403/2012-today-th
e-story-of-the-time-traveling-mayan-pessimist
(Not strongest content though)
EDUBLOG
Another way to present information when various
elements are demanded from students; allows for
interaction with other students.
http://edublogs.org/
Example: http://patmelkat.edublogs.org/
GOOGLE WEBPAGES & WIX
Student created webpages as their digital presentations – allows for
building organizational skills and incorporating in many forms of media
www.wix.com
Example: https://sites.google.com/site/austinandjacksaphsiassignment/home-page
Example: http://www.wix.com/savielazo/mayans
SCREENCAST-O-MATIC
Student-created videos to explain content; supports the idea of
the flipped classroom; teacher introduces the basic concepts and
the students take it up a level
http://www.screencast-o-matic.com/
Took time for these projects; needed better microphones
(which could have been provided by the library); products would
have been better if tech practiced before; needed to review
protocol with students about not reading from their presentation

GENERAL PRESENTATION TOOLS
PowerPoint was not usually allowed. This forced students out of
their comfort zones.
http://animoto.com/
http://prezi.com/ (the new PowerPoint)
http://www.sliderocket.com/
Usually took time to learn the new software or program, but they
could do it and started using them in their other classes too!
The teacher didn’t have to know how to use the Web 2.0 tools!
SO….
What’s Next for Me…
WALLWISHER
http://wallwisher.com/ is similar to ….

MDc4ZjItNTViMC00ZjY0LWExY2ItNmEzY2E3OWY1NWUy/e
dit
Organize discussions, outline ideas, connect themes
together for units
CHATZY
Another way to encourage communication
and collaboration with students
May add variety (not overuse other web 2.0
tools)
http://www.chatzy.com/
WARNING SIGNS GENERATOR
Something new to add to digital
presentations…
Change is a big theme – have
students generate signs for changes
within units (warnings)
http
://www.warningsigngenerator.com/
POPPLET & SPICYNODES
Organize concepts by theme or topic; a version of a
word web
http://popplet.com/
http://www.spicynodes.org/
CLUSTRMAPS
Globalization topics as well as geography
http://www.clustrmaps.com/index.htm
BITSTRIPS
Great for making comic strips or for creating
political cartoons
http://www.bitstrips.com/
ATMOSPHIR
New project based idea – Revolutions Video Game
http://www.atmosphir.com/
DECIDE ALREADY
Problem solving skills are key for the EOC.
Generate scenarios and have students “decide”
how to handle the situation…kind of a “what would
you do?”
https://decidealready.com/
