Where are you with Technology?

Review this Technology Matrix to see where you are with Technology.  There is also a Matrix PDF.

There is a new way for Social Student teachers to help their students create posters.  More teachers are using Glogster.  This program allows students to create virtual posters using images and videos.  Print out the PDF to read over.

Another great tool that can be implemented in Social Studies classroooms is  Prezi.com.  This helps students create enhanced power point presentations.
