Cool Technology Resource for Social Studies Teachers

I finally put together a lesson I was proud of. Most students were engaged and interested and I had fun teaching the lesson. I learned as much from the lesson as my students. And I incorporated a website into my teaching that wound up being an awesome weapon in my arsenal. I taught the lesson on Black History Month and its significance in our history as a nation and our history as individuals. To aid in my lesson we went through a time line from the History Channel.

This time lines was awesome and I recommend it to all teachers of any grade. These resources can be worked into most classrooms regardless of age and, in some instances, even content.
