50 Great Sites For Social Studies Teachers (Part Deux)

Last week, I posted the first part of two highlighting the best of the best sites out there for Social Studies teachers. The Finding Dulcinea site always has great stuff, especially the SweetSearch Social Studies page. On occasion, they also create helpful articles. I edited one of their recent articles to come up with this list.

Part Two focuses on primary documents, history magazines, current events, geography and economic sites:

Tip of the Week – 15 sites & tools for social studies teachers

There are lots of great things out there for social studies teachers. This morning I was asked to create a list of 15 sites and tools that every social studies teachers should know about and use. I wasn’t sure I could limit it to just 15. But this is what I came up with.

Primary Sources

• National Archives
• Library of Congress
• Docs Teach

Lessons

• ThinkFinity
• Stanford History Education Group

Tools

• BibMe
• Google Earth
• Shmoop
• Delicious
• Livebinders

General Sites

• Reading Quest
• NCSS Notable Trade Books

Would the list change if I had to create it again on Monday? Probably. And yes, there are 17. I added a couple at the end. Blatant propaganda, I know.

What would you add to the list?
