= Teaching and Learning Social Studies in a 1:1 Classroom =

Today we will be working on how to improve social studies teaching and learning in a technology-enhanced classroom. The goals of the workshop are to:


 * Develop a deeper understanding of the intersection of curricular standards and sound 1:1 pedagogy through the use of 21st century tools;
 * Experiment with content-specific/appropriate technology tools;
 * Work as a professional learning community to explore the challenges and opportunities presented by a tech-infused classroom.

There are a multitude of activities, opportunities for collaboration, and time for discussion designed to support each of these goals. A unique aspect of using this wiki is that all products created in every activity will be saved for later use. Since everything will be saved here, you will have continual access to multiple assessments, activities, and full lessons to use in the future. Thus, not only are you gaining experience by being here, you are also leaving with a numerous useful resources.
