Scooped by Beth Dichter |
Scoop.it!
Beth Dichter's insight:
Richard Byrne provides 13 resources for social studies in this post. Some have been mentioned previously in this Scoop.it and others are new. Each one includes a brief description and all are free. They include:
* Museum Box - a virtual display of artifacts
* Mission U.S. - 2 missions that explore different times in U.S. History
* Hip Hughes History - a YouTube channel on both U.S. and World History (the image above is from this site)
* The Google Cultural Institute (42 exhibitions online)
* History Animated - "animated online tours of notable battles and strategies and the outcomes of each battle in the American Revolution, the War of 1812, the American Civil War, and WWII"
and more! Check out the post for additional resources.
This site offers terrific digital resources specific to the social studies classroom. It offers resources on a variety of social studies topics from world history to American history, and politics. One of the sites that I have used in my classroom is History Animated that allows users to see virtual battlefields and live the action that soldiers would have felt.
