Much of the High School Social Studies standards revolves on finding primary and secondary sources. One thing that students have struggled with is finding primary/secondary resources. The National Archive page is designed for students to research anything and display a list of resources for them. It makes it easier for researching for any assignment. Not going to lie, it helps me as a teacher find some for lesson planning as well.

For this one, any website that allows discussions posts can be used. I chose Google Classroom discussion forms because that is what I am used to. Discussion forms may not come as a surprise, however, it is important to mention because it is so beneficial to students online learning. Social studies teachers are adding online discussion posts more and more. It teaches the students to research and even also communicate online.

This source provides quick and easy read articles for any age group on current events. It is educational and easy to use. This is very useful at the end of the year once the teacher has covered the standards and they can more on to current events.

Flipgrid is a video resource that allows students to record themselves. In one of the resources I found, a teacher talked about using Flipgrid. They used it for a simulation project. It was a French Revolution project and each student received a historical figure as a role they had to research and play in the simulation. The first step of the project was to introduce themselves as their new character. The teacher explained how many students were nervous to do it in front of the class. Therefore, the teacher assigned it as a homework assignment. They had to record themselves on Flipgrid as their character and the other students had to reply as their characters as well. The teacher explained how much it was a success because the students felt more comfortable getting that first interaction done before the simulation on camera. This allowed the rest of the project to be much more resourceful.

Kami is a google extension website that allows students to make corrections and annotations on PDF documents. I tested this resource out with a 9th grade social studies classroom. It proved to be extremely useful when used for annotating primary/secondary source documents. Rather than printing off lots of papers. Students will receive links to specific documents and they will annotate on their laptops, then turn it in. It is very easy and useful tool that all social studies can use when looking at specific documents.
