Learning is relevant when the student…
• Understands how this information or skill has some application to his life;
• Has an opportunity to follow his own process rather than just learn “the facts;”
• Is not just learning content and skills, but is reflecting on their work and their progress as learners.

“Teachers waiting for a workshop to show them how to use technology are never going to do it.
You have to jump in and try something.”

Use the Web to ...
• Find & evaluate an endless array of primary sources.
• Empower students as creators and publishers
• Connect and collaborate with other classrooms
• Promote change and global understanding

Primary Sources Are…

Sources created around the time of an event
free of historical interpretation
offer a unique perspective
represent an era or moment in time
![Page 30: Integrating Content Resources & Technology into Social Studies Class](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052821/5549e943b4c90512488b4d6b/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
By Studying Primary Sources, Students…
build standards-based skills such as critical thinking.
learn to recognize that the record-keepers saw the world through a singular lens.
learn to apply new knowledge to dynamic projects.
Indeed, they become historians.
