6. Online Resources for Canadian and Social Studies

What is it?

Why is it useful?

How would you use it?

Library and Archives Canada

http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/index-e.html

Excellent online resources. Great for essay research.

polleverywhere.com

Ask a question (multiple choice). Students can send in responses via laptop, smartphone

browser, even texting.

wordpress.com

Blog that allows students to answer questions the teacher asks through a given unit, with

responses that tend to be more polished and thoughtful because they are out there for all their

peers to see. As a teacher, you can then have them base on essay off some of those

responses.

CBC Archives

Lots of video. Lots of lesson plans on there, too. A great deal of resources.

virtualhistorian.ca

Lots of primary sources. A great deal of emphasis on historical thinking.

simpsonsforteachers.wikispaces.com

Breaks it down by subject, including world history, politics, sociology, economics, psychology.

Includes full lesson plans centred around an episode or clip of an episode.

thememoryproject.com

Use it to book veterans to visit your class.

myspace.com or facebook.com or FakeBook (ex. http://www.classtools.net/FB/homepage)

Make up profiles of historical figures you want your students to learn about. Add music they

would listen to, posts, photos, friends and likes. Make it come alive.
