Multimedia Resources

The internet is FULL of resources that you can use in your Social Studies classrooms. You can find images, audio, video and more to integrate into your planning that will engage students and strengthen your lessons.

*TeacherTube is full of helpful video clips on a variety of topics.  I rely on both this site and YouTube - but appreciate that you find fewer inappropriate or completely off topic clips on this site.

*Keepvid is an excellent tool for saving video clips that you find on YouTube or TeacherTube.  If you work at a school with slow internet connection, or at a location where youtube access is blocked - keepvid is a great alternative. 

*For Cartwright Elementary School District teachers the Classzone website which is connected to our adopted text - McDougal Littell's "American History" can be a GREAT support. This site has interactive maps and animations as well as a number of links to websites that support specific topics in the text.
