Chapter 9
Incorporating technology into social studies can be fun and eventful but it can be scary. Technology can result in students becoming more motivated and it can act as a tool for students when presenting and more! Technology is constantly changing and evolving as time goes on. It is important as a teacher to be educated on technology because it is becoming a big part of teaching. Teacher's must find reliable sources on the internet because the information on the web is not always true. A teacher can tell that if a website is reliable or not by looking at who the publisher of the website is. A website is reliable if it ends in "edu", "gov", or ".com". For research, teachers can use Search engine. Search engine contains a lot of websites that can be used as reliable research tools for teachers.
Classrooms used to contain chalkboards and now due to the increase of technology usage and advances in technology, now there are computers, projectors , Promethean Boards and smartboards. One of the pros of using a Smartboard is that it allows teachers to have access to a lot of resources. A Promethean Board is used by projecting a computer!
