How to Incorporate the Computer into the Social Studies Classroom.
Dockterman, David; Snyder, Tom
This brochure offers answers to 13 questions about using computers in the social studies classroom. Written by teachers for teachers, its goal is to provide a foundation to consider whether or not computers have a place in the classroom and how to go about using them if they do. The questions are: "What's in this booklet?""Should I be using computers in my social studies classroom?""What can I do with computers that I couldn't do before?""Where do I start?""What can I do with a computer lab?""What can I do with one or two computers in my classroom?""What can I do with a computer permanently in my classroom?""What do I need to know?""How do I find good software?""How do I evaluate software?""How do I find the time to find software, learn how to use it, and become comfortable with the technology?""Where do I find the space for this equipment?" and "Where can I get the resources for the hardware and software I want?"
