Synopsis

Across the disciplines technology offers unique opportunities to the teacher. Examples of these opportunities include the ability to research, create presentations etc. For Social Studies technology offers a new way to reach out for the world. Much of the Social Studies curriculum is based around the idea of learning about the world around us and the myriad ways that people across the globe function and live differently but effectively. With technology social studies teachers, have a chance to allow students to explore and experience the world in a new virtual way and create knowledge by themselves. This fosters the much emphasized constructivist paradigm. However, over the years, it has been observed that despite the lee way that technology offers to the teaching and learning process, the traditional social studies teaching is “yoked to the textbook, captive to chalk and talk”. For most teachers their hiccough is how they can tailor technology around the social studies curriculum to make it effective and interesting. This book expounds social studies teachers’ perception towards technology integration and provides a practical approach to teaching social studies with technology.
