Social Studies
 

The Georgia State social studies web site has been created to facilitate the development of instructional materials and courses related to social studies. Resources are available for K-12, college and university social studies professionals.

Courses - Social studies teacher education courses

Cherokee County Digital History Project - This site includes an extensive collection of historical property surveys from Cherokee County and an archival collection of the papers of a Cherokee County resident named W.A. (Asaph) Perry. The project also includes an experimental pedagogical narrative on the life of Asaph Perry.

 

A Semantic Constitution - A dynamic web-based version of the United States Constitution that goes beyond hypertext through the construction of a digital semantic structure, includes instructional ideas and articles as well as links to related resources. This work was developed with funding from a Robert H. Michel Civic Education Preliminary Grant from the Dirksen Congressional Center.

Digital Historical Resources - Original digital historical resources developed by pre-service and in-service social studies teachers in Georgia State University programs. This work is supported by the College of Education at Georgia State University and the Center for Technology and Teacher Education at the Curry School of Education. Digital Historical Inquiry Project - This project is an effort to create and grow a consortium of schools and colleges of education interested in promoting historical inquiry in the preparation of preservice social studies teachers. The Consortium will produce innovative programs of study that will allow preservice and inservice social studies teachers to learn the methods of digital historical inquiry and implement those methods in their teaching experiences.

Social Studies on the Web - A directory of social studies related web sites, currently over 250 sites. Annotations are currently being developed for all 250 sites listed in the directory by Georgia State University social studies students.
