Week 6

There are several good apps that could be implemented in the social studies classroom. I like the app which allows you to take your class on virtual fieldtrips. Proration has placed limitations on what teachers can do for their students. This app allows you to bring the fieldtrip to the students. The app still gives students the ability to travel to other countries and learn about different cultures. The stock market simulation game is also a good app. This app allows students to participate in a virtual stock market and it teaches them about economic principles. World book is another good mobile app. This app provides a this day in history calendar to show students when important historical events took place. It also provides other media such as photos, illustrations, music, and speeches for students to hear. Digital storytelling is a process where students can use images and audio to tell the stories of lives, events, or eras in history.
