Participants will explore and analyze interactive social studies resources, including Herstory, Freedom Stories, and Atlantic Slave Trade simulations, for use in the classroom.
Participants will experience interactive social studies activities using instructional technology, such as MaKey MaKey.
Using Herstory and Freedom Stories iPad applications, participants will be able to explore the stories of women and slaves who are frequently overlooked in history textbooks. Viewing the online interactive Atlantic Slave Trade simulation by Slate will allow participants to construct a deeper understanding of the slave trade and its impact on the indigenous populations of Africa. Making literal connections in an interactive map with MaKey MaKey will also allow participants to test their knowledge of immigration and American immigration patterns in an engaging, yet non-confrontational way.
