GENERAL

"Social studies is the integrated study of the social sciences and humanities to promote civic competence. Within the school program, social studies provides coordinated, systematic study drawing upon such disciplines as anthropology, archeology, economics, geography, history, law, philosophy, political science, psychology, religion, and sociology, as well as appropriate content from the humanities, mathematics, and natural sciences. The primary purpose of social studies is to help young people develop the ability to make informed and reasoned decisions for the public good as citizens of a culturally diverse, democratic society in an interdependent world." (From the NCSS Members Only Archive)

Students in a geography class/unit might visit the computer lab and work on the calendar links to "Women History Month" and return to regular activities after the brief exploration is completed. Teachers with students who may not have a lot of "internet savy" can use these as familirization tools. See the Calendar for February, 1999 and March, 1999.

"Students can benefit in several ways from researching their school's history. . . This is history that is near at hand and that has a direct connection to their lives." Teachers currently involved in the process of writing and thinking about those class/school projects for 1998-99 will find the site very useful...
