Could you help spread the word to your Social Studies teachers that there will be a Social Studies and Technology Showcase March 21 in Manson at the Manson Northwest Webster School. (The StarLite is not available)
Please encourage their attendance. Of all of the content areas, the Social Studies curriculum has the most to gain from the use of technology. When you consider the up-to-the-minute news reports, the museums, the maps, the primary documents and objects, etc. that is available on the web, you would hope that social studies teachers would recognize that absolute wealth of resources technology and the internet provide them. And it doesn't have to be about going to a computer lab. There are materials and strategies that can be used right in their own classroom. In a world that changes minute-by-minute, students need to know how to access and analyze news and information about our world AND consider it in the context of history, politics and economics. Please encourage your social studies teacher to attend to find out not only about all the incredible resources, but also about some powerful instructional strategies used to take full advantage of these great resources. Registration fliers will be vanned soon or they can register with Carrie Kee at 1-800-669-2325 x 5525 Cost is $10. Thanks for your help in encouraging your social studies teachers to attend! --- Nancy Movall Instructional Technology Consultant Arrowhead Area Education Agency 1235 5th Ave South Fort Dodge, IA 50501 Ph. 800.669.2325 x.5533 (IA) Ph. 515.574.5533 FX 515.574.5326 --------------------------------------------------------- Archived messages from this list can be found at: http://www.mail-archive.com/tech-cord@aea5.k12.ia.us/ ---------------------------------------------------------
