Craig Daniels Top Ten
Social Studies Web Sites
- http://php.iupui.edu/~kmbeidel/indiana/lessons.html
- A great source to use to teach your students more about Indiana. Site contains lesson plans, a list of
famous “Hoosiers”, and a pen-pal link for your students, and historical
facts about our great state.
- http://www.proteacher.com/090116.shtml
- Another great source for more information about Indiana. It is a bit more detailed and has a map
quiz of Indiana, as well as numerous lesson
plans and ideas for teachers.
- http://teachers.net/states/in/
- This is an Indiana chat board! A great site for teachers of all grades
to post questions. Ask how to teach
a certain standard! Learn how other
teachers teach certain standards!
Talk to teachers around the state and see how they are doing. This site is not intended for use by
students.
- http://ofcn.org/cyber.serv/academy/ace/misc/cecmisc/cecmisc065.html
- I chose this web page because it is a fun game activity that can be used
at any grade level. “Beat the Pro,”
offer your students a chance to outsmart you! Good way to enlighten the classroom.
- http://7-12educators.about.com/cs/socialstudies/index.htm
- This site is good for teachers of all subjects, not just social
studies. Learn more about classroom
discipline, rubric making, daily warm-up activities, and assessment
techniques. It’s a well-rounded
site that is easy to use.
- http://www.aea2.k12.ia.us/Curriculum/socialstudies.html#american
– This site provides a huge array of web links that are great resources to
be used for web activities/research.
It’s great for teachers as well as students who want a complete
list on one page. An A-Z of historical information.
- http://www.myworksheets.com/soc_studies/
- This site offers teachers worksheets that can be printed or
downloaded. Worksheets cover just
about all aspects of history and can be used as secondary “quick”
activities for your students.
- http://highschoolhub.org/hub/history.cfm
- This site offers links for geography/economics/world history
teachers. Not one of my better
picks, but I have found some useful information from it never the
less. Check it out!
- http://www.historychannel.com/thisday/
- I thought this and the last one are important for those of us who like
to use the “today in history” theme.
Pretty basic compared to the web site below, but I thought that it
was good for a quick reference.
- http://www.scopesys.com/anyday/
- This site is a lot more detailed than the one listed above this. However, if you just want information
quickly, use the one above. This is
a great site to use if you want more details such as birthdays of famous
people, deaths, and people missing in action from war.
