Are you wanting to incorporate technology and critical thinking strategies into your classroom instruction but don't know how? Join a high school Social Studies teacher team as they unveil instructional strategies for use of QR (Quick Response) codes, Google Docs, and other Web 2.0 tools in the classroom. In this workshop you will learn about the technology challenges (Amazing Race) presented to high school students to prepare for the EOC and TAKS this school year. See what they have designed for classroom use and learn how to use the same technological tools to intrigue and challenge students all year long in the Social Studies classroom.
(Presenter examples will target World Geography, World History, and high school U.S. History) All Social Studies teachers are welcome to come and learn how to integrate these strategies into the classroom.)
