The WhyThe Z - the Kids in America and in our classrooms
·Bill Clinton is a senior statesman of whose presidency they have little knowledge.·They have never seen an airplane “ticket;” they can’t picture people actually carrying luggage through airports rather than rolling it.·There have always been blue M&Ms, but no tan ones.·They watch television everywhere but on a television.·Outdated icons with images of floppy discs for “save,” a telephone for “phone,” and a snail mail envelope for “mail” have oddly decorated their tablets and smart phone screens.
-From the Beloit College Mindset List for the Class of 2016

Motivational Lesson #1: Technology is fundamentally changing children's conception and definition of what even basic items are or how they should be used.

Motivational Lesson #2 - We need to remember to explain the "why bother" and show the value of doing things without technology as well as with technology.

Motivational Lesson #3 - Technology and social media are part of how we're making history and recording history. They are tools of our field and objects of historical/social study.

We are still teachers after all.
Just like with any other instructional objective or strategy...
...start with the end in mind
...think about what you want to accomplish...what would make this more realistic, authentic, easy to facilitate, interesting, or sustainable?...is there a piece of technology that can make this happen?

Student Publishing
Let's Get Crazy...
What if your students created a class website on Weebly to publish their work/projects?
What if they blogged about class topics using Blogspot or Wordpress?
Or tweeted on a class Twitter feed?
Or posted videos to help other students or explain ideas "Khan Academy" style?
Or created a class-based app?

What makes life easier? Resources!
The List - A few faves...
·Microsoft Partners in Learning - an entire Learning Suite of free teacher awesomeness once you sign up (which is also free)
http://www.pil-network.com/·Discovery Education - many free teacher resources; if your school used United Streaming and you have an account still, make sure you take advantage!
http://www.discoveryeducation.com/
·NBC Learn - seriously, what an archive! Thank you IDOE (how many times have you said that?)
http://indiana.nbclearn.com/
·Bing Picture of the day - like the Google Doodle, but more geography-specific
http://www.bing.com/
·Larry Ferlazzo - he's a meta-source with "best of" lists on so many professional topics
http://larryferlazzo.edublogs.org/
·EdWeek - the go-to professional source, both for instructional and tech resources, but also just to be knowledgeable about your profession (and you can sign up for TONS of e-mail updates)
http://www.edweek.org/ew/index.html·On that note - every teacher should read this article on ed policy! Washington Post's Answer Sheet is a very pro-public ed take on education. Here's just one sample...
·Also on that note, since we are social studies teachers, here's the NCSS website! They have a news aggregator called SmartBrief that you can have e-mailed to you.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/answer-sheet/wp/2013/07/19/five-basic-lessons-on-public-education-short-and-long-versions/
http://www.socialstudies.org/
·Edudemic is ed tech focused!http://www.edudemic.com/
·Look - books!Teaching Generation Text - Lisa Nielsen & Willyn Webb (all about cell phones in the classroom - interesting! Marc Prensky is another great author on this topic)
Everything Bad is Good for You - Steven Johnson (the title says it all - discusses how everything from Lost to an MMORPG builds essential skills)
Historical Thinking and Other Unnatural Acts - Sam Wineburg (he's a guru on social studies teaching)
http://www.amazon.com/Historical-Thinking-Other-Unnatural-Acts/dp/1566398568/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1375329888&sr=8-2&keywords=sam+wineburg

·Don't underestimate Pinterest - go to their search page and select education - it's a great way to find other links, sites, and resources - Larry Ferlazzo has a Pinterest page, so it must be a good idea!
·sophia.org - Sophia Learning offers tons of resources for students and teachers as well as free teacher tools - worth a look, especially on the professional development front, but you can also organize classes through this!

The Twist
When teaching about technology, teaching about the history of technology lends important perspective to our students; it can help them better analyze the role of technology in society today and where technological advances might lead. So teach about history when you teach tech, and teach the history of tech when you teach social studies! After all, once upon a time...
![Page 34: Social studies the next frontier](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061111/545474ebaf79599f308b681b/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
this was modern technology...
...and so was this...
...and even this!
![Page 35: Social studies the next frontier](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061111/545474ebaf79599f308b681b/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
The Now What? And in the end... the ideas you take... can become the new enhancements you make.
·What 2 or 3 ideas (or more if you want to get crazy) can work for you that you could implement in the near future?·What's your tech dream (a paperless class? a flipped class? an iPad or Chromebook in every hand?) - What steps can help you get there?·Thanks for attending! Please e-mail me with any questions!
