I followed the #ntchat (new teacher chat) which discuss the importance and current place of social studies in the classroom. We mainly discussed four questions about the application of social studies. The questions are the following:
I replied those four questions with my own opinions.
During and after the chat, I realized how the social community provide resources that we can use in the future teaching. People would offer links to which they consider useful for this question or share personal experience about the certain topic. For example, some people suggested to use mysteryskype with the combination of textbook to better facilitate students with the understanding of social studies. I enjoyed this casual and informal way of communication.
I'm glad that you suggested using multimedia in the classroom. Especially for Social Studies class, the inclusion of videos and other visual multimedia could add a lot to the learning experience.
